Abstract
The method and system of discretisation according to the present invention addresses the problems of the different types of prior art grids. In particular, a problem for which a solution is found is that of the rigidity of the spatial distribution of the cells in a structured grid, implying undesired local thickening of cells, thus causing considerable waste in calculation time and memory. A method consistent with the present invention creates a semistructured grid. Further, a numerical solver needs to be adapted to handle the semistructured grid.
