A brief review of techniques for generating irregular computational grids
William Carlisle Thacker · International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering · 1980
Abstract This review attempts to place in perspective the wide variety of computer methods which are available for constructing irregular computational grids. Several different approaches exist for each aspect of the construction task: creation of the points, recognition of neighbouring points that define grid elements, enumeration of the points with indices, optimization of the positions of the points for computational advantage, and variation of point density throughout the grid.
