Efficient three‐dimensional Delaunay triangulation with automatic point creation and imposed boundary constraints

TL;DR: A method is described which constructs three-dimensional unstructured tetrahedral meshes using the Delaunay triangulation criterion, and the efficiency of the proposed procedure reduces the computer time for the generation of realistic un Structured Tetrahedral grids to the order of minutes on workstations of modest computational capabilities.

Unstructured tetrahedral mesh generation for three-dimensional viscous flows

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of generating general tetrahedral meshes suitable for use in viscous flow simulations is proposed, which consists of the initial generation of a number of unstructured layers of highly stretched elements, in the vicinity of solid walls, followed by the discretisation of the remainder of the domain, by a standard advancing front procedure.

Solid modeling aspects of three-dimensional fragmentation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the ways in which the topology and geometry of a 3D finite-element model may evolve as a consequence of fracture and fragmentation, and the actions which may be taken in order to update the boundary representation of the solid so as to faithfully reflect that evolution.

Adaptive remeshing for compressible flow computations

TL;DR: An adaptive mesh procedure for improving the quality of steady state solutions of the Euler equations in two dimensions is described, implemented in conjunction with a finite element solution algorithm, using linear triangular elements, and an explicit time-stepping scheme.

A Taylor-Galerkin method for convective transport problems

Jean Donea
TL;DR: The method is successively extended to deal with variable coefficient problems and multi-dimensional situations and the new Taylor–Galerkin schemes are found to exhibit particularly high phase-accuracy with minimal numerical damping.
