Engineering Discipline: CFD

Elements: Triangle

Surface Meshing: No

Tri/Tet Method: Advancing Front

    depending on user's boundary specification

Other Features:

    none, it produces very nice meshes with triangles with all angles around 60 degrees and of the same size.

Comments:

    special algorithm for the distribution of inner points based on the model of behaviour of particles with electric charge inside of a bounded 2D vessel is used. Special variant of the advancing front method is used and correctness of the algorithm is proved.
