• Numerical simulation is now mature and has become an integral part of design in science and engineering applications. Meshing, i.e., discretizing the computational domain, is at the core of the computational pipeline and a key element to significant improvements. The AM2NS Associate Team focus on developing the next generation of automated meshing methods to improve their robustness and the mesh quality to solve the ever increasing complexity of numerical simulations. Four major meshing issues are targeted: (i) more robustness for mesh generation methods in recovering a given data set, (ii) higher quality for anisotropic adapted meshes via constraint alignment, (iii) higher quality for boundary layer meshes near geometry singularities, and (iv) more robustness in handling complex displacement for moving mesh methods. The impact of this collaborative research will be to provide more reliable solution output predictions in an automated manner by using these new meshing methods.
