A Survey of Unstructured Mesh Generation Technology

A brief survey of some of the fundamental algorithms in unstructured mesh generation is presented. Included is a discussion and categorization of triangle, tetrahedral, quadrilateral and hexahedral mesh generation methods currently in use in academia and industry. Also included is a brief discussion of smoothing, cleanup and refinement algorithms. An informal survey of currently available mesh generation software is also provided comparing some of their main features.
