DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO SEMINAR ACTIVITIES SCIENTIFIC COMPUTATION SEMINAR - 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.
