Review text

A method for generating structured meshes from a given vector-field is described. This method is based on a weighted variational principle that minimizes a least squares fit to the inverse of a scaled Jacobian matrix derived from the given vector-field. The resulting grid generator is a weighted form of the earlier known Laplace grid generator equation. The explanation of the method presented is not precise enough, it has some heuristic components. The theory of the method is valid also for the three-dimensional case but the numerical examples are presented only in 2D.
