In this article, we give an overview of a new technique for unstructured curvilinear boundary layer grid generation, which uses the isoparametric mappings that define elements in an existing coarse prismatic grid to produce a refined mesh capable of resolving arbitrarily thin boundary layers. We demonstrate that the technique always produces valid grids given an initially valid coarse mesh, and additionally show how this can be extended to convert hybrid meshes to meshes containing only simplicial elements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
