This paper on "Adaptive Triangular-Quadrilateral Mesh Generation" was presented at the NAFEMS World Congress on Design, Simulation & Optimisation: Reliability & Applicability of Computational Methods - 9-11 April 1997, Stuttgart, Germany.

Abstract

We recall an adaptive mesh generation method governed by isotropic and anisotropic discrete metric maps, by means of the generation of a unit mesh with respect to a Riemannian structure. Then, we propose an automatic triangular to quadrilateral mesh conversion scheme, which generalize the standard case lo the anisotropic context. Application test examples, in particular a CFO lest, are given to demonstrate the efficiency or the proposed method.
