Notes:
A grid generation method is proposed for an arbitrary two-dimensional domain. The method, based on the Delaunay triangulation, is modified so that it can be used as a grid generator for an arbitrary two-dimensional area with complex boundary geometry. Input data for the method are the co-ordinates of all nodes and the ordering of nodes on each boundary. Its efficiency is examined through a number of actual problems, and a numerical experiment clarifies that the grid generation requires a CPU time which is proportional to the number of nodes.
