Numerical Grid Generation. Proceedings of a Symposium on the Numerical Generation of Curvilinear Coordinate Systems and their Use in the Numerical Solution of Partial Differential Equations, held April 1982, Nashville, Tennessee

Abstract

The basic ideas of the construction and use of numerically-generated boundary-fitted coordinate systems for the numerical solution of partial computation can be done on a fixed square grid in the rectangular transformed region regardless of the shape of movement of the physical boundaries. A number of different types of configurations for the transformed region and the basic transformation relations from a cartesian system to a general curvilinear system are given. The material of this paper is applicable to all types of coordinate system generation.
