Body-fitted Coordinates

Body-Fitted Coordinates is a coordinate system transformation method in grid generation that maps a physical domain with complex, irregular boundaries onto a computational domain with a regular, rectangular grid structure by aligning the coordinate lines with the boundaries of the physical domain.
