Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="fld4060-abs-0001"> <title>Summary</title> <p id="fld4060-para-0001">This paper presents an application of the advancing reduction technique for 2D hybrid mesh generation (triangles + quadrilaterals). Based on an initial rectangle mesh (RM) covering the whole domain, the advancing reduction technique coarsens the base RM in a marching way from the boundary to the interior of the domain so that different zones of sub‐RMs with different edge lengths are recognized. These sub‐RMs are connected to each other with the so‐called transition layers which consist of the transition triangles and quadrilaterals. As demonstrated by examples, the proposed method is simple, efficient, and easy to implement. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.</p> </abstract>
