Subject: Re: Paper for ACES special issue From: Yoshitaka WADA Date: Fri, 02 Mar 2001 20:42:22 +0900 To: fox@csit.fsu.edu Dear Professor Fox, I send my paper for the special issue dedicated to ACES in "Concurrency and Computation" journal. I am sorry for inconvinience being late submission. Thank you. Yoshitaka Wada >TITLE: >Effective Adaptation Technique for Hexahedral Mesh > >AUTHORS: >Yoshitaka Wada -------- Yoshitaka Wada, Ph. D.

This modified octree-based method can be applied to an arbitary hexahedral unstructured mesh. Hex-R is the the name of our implentation and it refines the mesh in cooperation with a finite element viewer: GPPView. The refined mesh retains the topology of the original coarse mesh. Therefore one can easily use the proposed method for multigrid generation. Finally the construction of an adaptive method using Hex-R is mentioned.
