... Dynamic bubble system Mesh generation The bubble packing is based on an iterative algorithm of relatively slow convergence (Kim et al., 2003). In an adaptive FEM computation that requires a re-meshing process related to an error criterion, this problem can decrease the overall...

... quality bounds are provided. Research limitations/implications A mesh refinement algorithm that deals with curved geometries is a key feature for adaptive mesh generators, so that points are inserted properly in the curved pieces instead of in linear approximations of them. For instance, it is well...
