They constitute a mesh where each cell represents a discrete space that represents the flow locally. Mathematical equations that represent the flow physics are then applied to each cell of the mesh. Generating a high quality mesh is extremely important to obtain reliable solutions and to guarantee numerical stability. This chapter begins with a basic introduction to a typical workflow and guidelines for generating high quality meshes, and concludes with some more advanced topics, i.e., how to generate meshes in parallel, a discussion on mesh quality, and examples on the application of lattice-Boltzmann methods to simulate flow without any turbulence modelling on highly-resolved meshes.
