CURRENT VIEWS ON GRID GENERATION: SUMMARIES OF A PANEL DISCUSSION

Abstract

This article summarizes presentations made by the panelists forming the Panel Session on Grid Generation held at the Second International Symposium on Advances in Computational Heat Transfer (CHT'01) in May 2001 at Palm Cove, Queensland, Australia. First a brief summary of the grid generation process is presented by R. Douglass. G. Carey presents an assessment of grid generation and associated issues, trends, and techniques. D. White provides an overview of hexahedreal meshing, followed by a discussion of adaptive mesh refinement methods by G. Hansen. Y. Kallideris gives an update on hybrid grid methods for Navier-Stokes problems, and N. Weatherill concludes with a look forward in a discussion of large-scale simulations on unstructured grids.
