Review text

From the author's abstract: We present a novel automatic grid generator for the finite element discretization of partial differential equations in 3D. The grids constructed by this grid generator are composed of a pure tensor product grid in the interior of the domain and an unstructured grid which is only contained in boundary cells. The unstructured component consists of tetrahedra, each of which satisfies a maximal interior angle condition. By suitable constructing the boundary cells, the number of types of boundary subcells is reduced to 12 types. Numerical results and an analysis of the discretization error are presented.
