                    - Friday, May 26, 1988

Dr.  R.  Falconer  Henry,  of  the  Institute  of Ocean
Sciences,   will   speak  on  ``Interactive  Design  of
Irregular Triangular Grids''.

TIME:                10:30 AM

ROOM:              DC 1302

ABSTRACT

For  modelling  of  lakes  or tidal ocean bodies, it is
necessary  to  generate  meshes  that  can  conform  to
complex  boundary  geometrics  and whose elements areas
are  controlled  by  the bottom topography of the body.
In this talk, a mesh generation system developed at IOS
will  be  described  which  combines  an automatic mesh
generator  with  an  interactive  colour  graphics mesh
editor.   This  system  enables  a modeller to generate
triangulations that conform to irregular coastlines, in
which  the triangle areas are proportional to the local
water  depth,  and the triangles are nearly equilateral
in shape.
