Numerical grid generation is a basic preprocessing step that interfaces with CAD geometric modeling and PDE solution methodology in engineering analysis and design. Grid technology has been enhanced by adaptive mesh refinement/coarsening algorithms with feedback via error indicators computed in the analysis step. The need to solve very large multiphysics applications has led to the further extension of grid capabilities to include algorithms for partitioning unstructured grids for parallel computations and for dynamic load balancing schemes to repartition during adaptive refinement. In this minisymposium we will present recent studies focussing on algorithms and methodology for grid generation, grid quality in automated refinement, grid partitioning and dynamic load balancing.
