Los Alamos National Laboratory, 2001. — 33 p. — LA-UR: 01-3945.This article summarizes presentations made by the panelists forming the Panel Session on Grid Generation held at CHT'O1 in May, 2001 at Palm Cove, Queensland, Australia, a forum for updating the attendees of the current issues facing grid generation as well as informing them of some basic grid generation concepts. A brief summary of the grid generation process from geometry to discretization to grid modification is presented by R. Douglass. G. Carey presents some of his ideas on grid generation and associated issues, trends, and techniques. Then, D, White gives an overview of hexahedreal meshing followed by a view on unstructured grid generation and related topics by G. Hansen. Y. Kallideris then gives an update on hybrid grid methods for viscous grids with N. Weatherill concluding with a look toward the future in a discussion of large-scale aerospace simulations on unstructured grids.Contents:
