Abstract

The convergence and the accuracy of numerical solutions to partial differential equations strongly depend on the quality of the grids on which these solutions are computed. First and second order quality metrics for hexahedral grids cells are formulated and applied to evaluate the quality of three-dimensional geologic grid structures. Examples measuring the Jacobian and the orthogonality of geologic grids are given.
