Practical Three-Dimensional Mesh Generation Using Transfinite Interpolation
Lars-Erik Eriksson · SIAM Journal on Scientific and Statistical Computing · 1985
A computational procedure for generating three-dimensional nonorthogonal surface-fitted mesh systems is presented. The method is based on the concept of transfinite interpolation and makes use of normal derivatives of the mapping function at the boundaries to obtain the desired mesh control. A brief description of the theory is presented together with 2D examples to demonstrate the general principles. The generation of 3D meshes of $O-O$ type around wings and schematic wing-fuselage configurations is described in detail and several computed examples are shown.
