Abstract:

This is a bibliography on mesh generation and related topics. It is not an exhaustive bibliography, by any means, but an attempt to collect references to the best work on unstructured mesh generation, in 2-D and 3-D, particularly papers on:

• good control over the shape, size, and orientation of elements (typically triangles or tetrahedra),
• anisotropic mesh generation,
• automatic mesh generation for complex boundary geometry,
• approximation theory (error of a given mesh approximating a known function),
• adaptive meshing: refinement & coarsening,
• mesh improvement: smoothing,
• high quality mesh generation,
• definition of "mesh quality"

We do not cover the following much: structured mesh (grid) generation, quadrilateral or hexahedral meshes, element types, solvers.

Many of the papers describe mesh generators tailored to one of the following applications:

• finite element methods (FEM),
• computational fluid dynamics (CFD),
• viscous flow,
• aerodynamics,
• multigrid,
• triangulation,
• computational geometry,
• computer graphics,
• computer aided geometric design,
• and surface meshing.
