The construction of improved‐quality mesh on a curved surface using mapping factors
Min‐Bin Chen, San‐Cheng Chang · Journal of the Chinese Institute of Engineers · 1998
The Delaunay triangulation is broadly used on flat surfaces to generate well‐shaped elements. But the properties of Delaunay triangulation do not exist on curved surfaces whose Jacobians are different. In this paper we will present a modified algorithm to improve the shape of triangulation for the curved surface. The experiment results show that making use of “mapping factors” in the Delaunay triangulation and Laplacian method can produce better mesh (most aspect ratios≤3) on a curved surface.
