Parallel hexahedral meshing from volume fractions

Abstract

Issue Title: Special Issue: 20th International Meshing Roundtable

In this work, we introduce a new method for generating Lagrangian computational meshes from Eulerian-based data. We focus specifically on shock physics problems that are relevant to Eulerian-based codes that generate volume fraction data on a Cartesian grid. A step-by-step procedure for generating an all-hexahedral mesh is presented. We focus specifically on the challenges of developing a parallel implementation using the message passing interface to ensure a continuous, conformal and good quality hex mesh.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
