Hi everyone, 

I'm in need of a C++ class that can deal with the temporal evolution of a 
surface mesh driven by the 
motion (velocity) field coming from two phase fluid flow simulations. The 
reasoning behind this is to 
be able to deal with flows that hold a lot of vorticity, which may introduce 
large curvatures of the 
surface mesh and situations in which the surface mesh is self intersecting. 
Besides this, the surface
mesh itself is representing a fluidic interface, and should be allowed to 
break up into small droplets
or coalesce with itself (eg. two drops of water coalescing). 

I've done an extensive literature review, and I have found some algorithms 
that describe dealing with 
such issues, and even a CGAL based library called TransforMesh. Also, there 
have been posts on this 
mailing list on using Surface Mesher to for re-meshing in some cases. 

Before I go into any development directions, I would be really grateful for 
any advice on this matter, 
which can save me from significant time losses. 

If asking questions on TransforMesh is not allowed on this list, please 
accept my apologies, the forum 
of TransforMesh seems not to be active.. 

Best regards, 
Tomislav
