Abstract
A method for automatic generation of unstructured grids comprisied of tetrahedra is discussed. Delaunay approach for tetrahedral grid generation is used. Particular attention is given to the boundary constraining problem. A simple and robust algorithm for the boundary constraining successive use of boundary edge swapping, tetrahedral edge swapping and direct subdivision of tetrahedra is used. Small modifications allow to apply the method for viscous grid generation as well. Grid examples demonstrate efficiency of the method.
