“…First, one can generate a 3D geometrical model directly, like regular grid model which needs to specify the number of cells in x, y and z direction and sizes of each cell. Second, one can initially create an unstructured mesh in 2D, like Voronoi using the Delaunay [5,7,13,17] triangulation to create, and then one introduces topological structure to a 3D mesh generation, during which one needs to assign the number of geological layers and the elevation of each layer. The last method to generate a geometrical model is from other package's transformation, such as geologic model.…”

Abstract-TOUGHVISUAL is a full Windows-based graphical user interface for the TOUGHREACT program. TOUGHREACT is a general multiphase multicomponent reactive transport simulator, developed by introducing geochemistry into the multiphase fluid and heat flow code TOUGH2. TOUGHREACT has been widely used internationally for CO2 geological sequestration, nuclear waste disposal, groundwater remediation and geothermal energy development. The complexity of the input files (such as "flow.inp", "solute.inp" and "chemical.inp") required by original TOURHREACT, makes manual construction of these input files tedious and error-prone, especially dealing with complex geological structures and irregular study region. For this reason, we attempted to develop a new user-friendly interface. Here, we present a description and application examples of the improved pre-and post-processing graphical user interface TOUGHVISUAL. This interface can interactively create geometrical models, define related properties for multiphase flow and reactive transport, run the model, and view the simulation result. The interface offers a conceptual model approach and local grid refinement. It can deal with complex geological condition and heterogeneous media, and can share file data with other software to build a field-scale model.

“…Then, the polygonal regions are triangulated by a restricted Delaunay triangulation algorithm, [2][3][4] after which, the triangles generated are subdivided according to the specified tolerance of the surface. In addition, this approach requires a half-edge data structure to represent the mapping polygons.…”

Abstract. Trimmed surfaces have been widely used in complicated product design in mechanical engineering especially in complex free form surface models of CAD/CAM/CAE. Focusing on the deficiencies of the algorithms available in published literatures when handling some intricate situations, this paper proposes a more general and efficient algorithm of trimmed surface rendering (ATSR). The ATSR is a general algorithm that can deal with most intricate situations, which frequently occur in practical engineering that no special attention has been paid to in references at hand, as well as common situations. Furthermore, this paper presents a new algorithm for the nodes of polygon connecting into elements (ANCE). The ANCE can handle most tricky polygons appearing in the process of rendering and achieve successful triangulation for the to-be-rendered surface. Preferable results are obtained in the case studies, which indicate that the algorithms (ATSR and ANCE) are efficient and effective in handling complicated as well as common trimmed surface models in real engineering industry.
