Abstract

Abstract. OceanMesh2D is a set of MATLAB functions with preprocessing and post-processing utilities to generate two-dimensional (2-D) unstructured meshes for coastal ocean circulation models. Mesh resolution is controlled according to a variety of feature-driven geometric and topo-bathymetric functions. Mesh generation is achieved through a force balance algorithm to locate vertices and a number of topological improvement strategies aimed at improving the worst-case triangle quality. The placement of vertices along the mesh boundary is adapted automatically according to the mesh size function, eliminating the need for contour simplification algorithms. The software expresses the mesh design and generation process via an objected-oriented framework that facilitates efficient workflows that are flexible and automatic. This paper illustrates the various capabilities of the software and demonstrates its utility in realistic applications by producing high-quality, multiscale, unstructured meshes.
