Abstract: The structured grid generation presented in Chapter 17 is restricted to those cases where the physical domain can be transformed into a computational domain through one-to-one mapping. For irregular geometries, however, such mapping processes may become either inconvenient or impossible to apply. In these cases, the structured grid generation methods are abandoned and we turn to unstructured grids where transformation into the computational domain from the physical domain is not required. Even for the regular geometries, an unstructured grid generation may be preferred for the purpose of adaptive meshing in which the structured grids initially constructed become unstructured as adaptive refinements are carried out.
