Reduced order mesh optimisation using proper orthogonal decomposition and a modified cuckoo search - Kenneth Morgan (International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 2013)
The paper demonstrates the use of gradient free optimisation to address the demanding requirement of generating meshes of appropriate quality for use with co-volume methods on unstructured grids. The work was carried under an EPSRC funded Platform Grant and it forms a cornerstone of a newly awarded EPSRC grant that aims to extend the method into industrially relevant configurations.
