Abstract
In this paper, we review some grid quality metrics and define some new quality measures for quadrilateral elements. The curved elements are not discussed. Usually, the maximum value of a quality measure corresponds to the minimum value of the energy density over the grid. We also define new discrete functionals, which are implemented as objective functions in an optimization-based method for quadrilateral grid generation and improvement. These functionals are linearly combined with a discrete functional whose domain has an infinite barrier at the boundary of the set of unfolded grids to preserve convex grid cells in each step of the optimization process.
