Product Description
This book is an introduction to structured and unstructured grid methods in scientific computing, addressing graduate students, scientists as well as practitioners. Basic local and integral grid quality measures are formulated and new approaches to mesh generation are reviewed. In addition to the content of the successful first edition, a more detailed and practice oriented description of monitor metrics in Beltrami and diffusion equations is given for generating adaptive numerical grids. Also, new techniques developed by the author are presented, in particular a technique based on the inverted form of Beltrami’s partial differential equations with respect to control metrics. This technique allows the generation of adaptive grids for a wide variety of computational physics problems, including grid clustering to given function values and gradients, grid alignment with given vector fields, and combinations thereof. Applications of geometric methods to the analysis of numerical grid behavior as well as grid generation based on the minimization of functionals of smoothness, conformality, orthogonality, energy, and alignment complete the second edition of this outstanding compendium on grid generation methods.

 NOT A BOOK FOR BEGINNER October 2, 2003
ILIAS BURKETT (NY United States)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
THIS BOOK IS WRITTEN BY A ONE ROCKET SCIENIST FOR ANOTHER. AUTHOR
ASSUMES THAT YOU KNOW EVERYTHING. I DISLIKE THIS BOOK BECAUSE, THERE IS NOT A SINGLE COMPLETELY WORKED OUT EXAMPLE THAT ACTUALLY
GENERATES A GRID. I BELIEVE, EVERY CHAPTER SHOULD HAVE 3 OR 4
COMPLETELY WORKED OUT EXAMPLES. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A GOOD
BOOK ON GRID GENERATION FOR YEARS. I AM YET TO FIND A SINGLE
BOOK THAT HAVE WORKED OUT EXAMPLES IN THEM. IF ANYBODY KNOWS A
GOOD BOOK ON GRID GENERATION WITH WORKED OUT EXAMPLES, AND CAN
RESPOND TO MY REVIEW IT WILL BE GREATELY APPRECIATED. CLEARLY
NOT A BOOK FOR SELF STUDY.
 Not for the non-expert October 18, 2000

The book assumes that the reader has an exceptionally strong background in mathematics. One would expect that no matter how "obvious" the proofs to the theorems in the book may be (as the author claims), the author would at least present them. Slight inconsistencies and unclear definitions are scattered throughout the book. I highly recommend that you search for a different book.
