Finite Element Mesh Generation

A concise and comprehensive guide to the application of finite element mesh generation over 2D domains, curved surfaces and 3D domains, this book develops basic meshing algorithms to deal with problems with specific requirements such as adaptive and anisotropic meshing and mesh optimization. It explains the fundamental of popular techniques, describing and illustrating each approach with examples. Beyond the algorithms, the book also explores the practice of using metric tensor and strategies for generating anisotropic meshes. The authors provide illustrations of major meshing algortithms, pseudo codes and programming codes in C++ or FORTRAN.
