The developments in mesh generation are usually driven by the needs of new applications and/or novel algorithms. The last decade has seen a renewed interest in mesh generation and adaptation by the computational engineering community, due to the challenges introduced by complex industrial problems.Another common challenge is the need to handle complex geometries. Nowadays, it is becoming obvious that geometry should be persistent throughout the whole simulation process. Several methodologies that can carry the geometric information throughout the simulation stage are available, but due to the novelty of these methods, the generation of suitable meshes for these techniques is still the main obstacle for the industrial uptake of this technology.This book will cover different aspects of mesh generation and adaptation, with particular emphasis on cutting-edge mesh generation techniques for advanced discretisation methods and complex geometries.

This book presents up-to-date state of the art for industrial mathematics and covers emerging topics in computational sciences. Mathematical models and computational methods have gained an increasing importance in the simulation of real-world and industrial problems. The employment of such methodologies deeply changed the standard ways of conceiving daily industrial production and strategies for sustainable exploitation of modern cities. The goal pursued by this book is twofold. On the one hand, cases of successful interaction between mathematics and industry are presented. Special emphasis is devoted to the benefits provided by the transfer of knowledge in different fields of applications, including the social challenges of sustainable development. On the other hand, groundbreaking ideas and emerging technologies in computational science are discussed to foster cross-fertilization of academic solutions and real-world problems. Math to Product (M2P) is meant to establish a platform for proposal, discussion, and promotion of current and new trends in industry, sustainability, and innovation, with the goal of supporting creative and interdisciplinary thoughts. Scientific/technical areas covered include transfer of knowledge, innovation in design, computational science and engineering, industrial optimization processes, sustainable mobility, aerospace, automotive, nautical and naval engineering.  Target audience is made up by grad students and researchers in the field.

This volume collects selected contributions from the “Fourth Tetrahedron Workshop on Grid Generation for Numerical Computations”, which was held in Verbania, Italy in July 2013. The previous editions of this Workshop were hosted by the Weierstrass Institute in Berlin (2005), by INRIA Rocquencourt in Paris (2007), and by Swansea University (2010).This book covers different, though related, aspects of the field: the generation of quality grids for complex three-dimensional geometries; parallel mesh generation algorithms; mesh adaptation, including both theoretical and implementation aspects; grid generation and adaptation on surfaces – all with an interesting mix of numerical analysis, computer science and strongly application-oriented problems.
