Abstract

A new approach for solving Winslow mesh smoothing equations on unstructured meshes is presented. The approach uses virtual control volumes to discretize the domain. The virtual control volumes can be defined with uniform edge length and equal angles, resulting in smooth meshes in the physical domain. Or the virtual control volumes can be manipulated to control mesh quality and produce clustering, such as required in viscous boundary layers. A detailed description of these virtual control volumes in included. Examples of mesh smoothing using this new approach include general smoothing, moving boundary problems and viscous clustering.
