Abstract
A computer oriented method is presented which generates meshes of quadrilateral and triangular elements for spherical and conical surfaces using the transfinite interpolation technique. The input data required are very simple. Examples are given to illustrate the range of meshes that can be generated. It is demonstrated that the present method gives better apsect ratios of the elements and avoids the assumption of fictitious radius near the poles. © 1989.
