This proceedings is the result of the increasing interest in the development and application of grid generation techniques in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and related fields. The use of these techniques, formerly restricted to research and specialist organizations, is becoming more widespread due to significant advances in hardware and software technology. This conference series was started in 1986 to serve as an internationally acknowledged forum for researchers in the - at the time - novel and emerging field of grid generation techniques applied to CFD. In addition to a 20-page color section, this edition contains papers covering a wide spectrum of methods and techniques, both theoretical and applied, contributing to the scientific advance of this field.

Building on the success of its predecessor, Handbook of Turbomachinery, Second Edition presents new material on advances in fluid mechanics of turbomachinery, high-speed, rotating, and transient experiments, cooling challenges for constantly increasing gas temperatures, advanced experimental heat transfer and cooling effectiveness techniques, and propagation of wake and pressure disturbances. Completely revised and updated, it offers updated chapters on compressor design, rotor dynamics, and hydraulic turbines and features six new chapters on topics such as aerodynamic instability, flutter prediction, blade modeling in steam turbines, multidisciplinary design optimization.

Fundamentals of Grid Generation is an outstanding text/reference designed to introduce students in applied mathematics, mechanical engineering, and aerospace engineering to structured grid generation. It provides excellent reference material for practitioners in industry, and it presents new concepts to researchers. Readers will learn what boundary-conforming grids are, how to generate them, and how to devise their own methods. The text is written in a clear, intuitive style that doesn't get bogged down in unnecessary abstractions. Topics covered include planar, surface, and 3-D grid generation; numerical techniques; solution adaptivity; the finite volume approach to discretization of hosted equations; concepts from elementary differential geometry; and the transformation of differential operators to general coordinate systems. The book also reviews the literature on algebraic, conformal, orthogonal, hyperbolic, parabolic, elliptic, biharmonic, and variational approaches to grid generation. This unique volume closes with the author's original methods of variational grid generation.

Handbook of Grid Generation addresses the use of grids (meshes) in the numerical solutions of partial differential equations by finite elements, finite volume, finite differences, and boundary elements. Four parts divide the chapters: structured grids, unstructured girds, surface definition, and adaption/quality. An introduction to each section provides a roadmap through the material. This handbook covers: Fundamental concepts and approaches Grid generation process Essential mathematical elements from tensor analysis and differential geometry, particularly relevant to curves and surfaces Cells of any shape - Cartesian, structured curvilinear coordinates, unstructured tetrahedra, unstructured hexahedra, or various combinations Separate grids overlaid on one another, communicating data through interpolation Moving boundaries and internal interfaces in the field Resolving gradients and controlling solution error Grid generation codes, both commercial and freeware, as well as representative and illustrative grid configurations Handbook of Grid Generation contains 37 chapters as well as contributions from more than 100 experts from around the world, comprehensively evaluating this expanding field and providing a fundamental orientation for practitioners.
