Introduction to Mesh Generation
In this talk, we will provide an overview on the mesh generation process and will cover several mesh generation algorithms of interest. Our focus will be on the generation of unstructured volume meshes using triangular/quadrilateral elements (in 2D) or tetrahedral/hexahedral elements (in 3D). The talk will be based on Steve Owen’s International Meshing Roundtable short course on mesh generation algorithms.
The Role of Optimization in Dynamic Mesh Generation
In this talk, we will explore several related meshing problems in which optimization plays a key role. Problems we will explore include mesh quality improvement, untangling, adaptivity, warping. Some open questions in these areas will also be highlighted.
Speaker: Suzanne M. Shontz, University of Kansas and USI
An Overview on Space-Time Meshes
Space-time meshes have been used in the numerical solution of parabolic and hyperbolic PDE problems. They provide a natural method of discretization for problems involving moving and deforming meshes. In this talk, we will provide an overview on space-time meshes and discuss how such meshes are generated. As time permits, we will discuss their use in dynamic applications.
