Abstract:The convergence and the accuracy of numerical solutions to partial differential equations strongly depend on the quality of the grids on which these solutions are computed. First and second order quality metrics for hexahedral grids cells are formulated and applied to evaluate the quality of three-dimensional geologic grid structures. Examples measuring the Jacobian and the orthogonality of geologic grids are given.
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.
