Abstract
In this chapter grid generation will be discussed in relation to the establishment of the correspondence between points (x, y) in the irregular physical domain and points (ξ, η) in the regular computational domain. A conceptual approach to grid generation is to fix the values of ξ and η on the physical boundaries first. Subsequently interior points are located by determining the intersection of coordinate lines of opposite families drawn between corresponding boundary points.
