Measuring Mesh Qualities and Application to Variational Mesh Adaptation [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, 2005 Summary: The mesh assessment problem is investigated in this paper by taking into account the shape and size of elements and the solution behavior. Three elementwise mesh quality measures characterizing the shape, alignment, and adaptation features of elements are introduced according to the estimates of interpolation error developed on a general mesh.

An Alternating Mesh Quality Metric Scheme for Efficient Mesh Quality Improvement
Procedia Computer Science, 2011 AbstractIn the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs), high-quality meshes are crucial for the stability, accuracy, and convergence of the associated PDE solver. Mesh quality improvement is often performed to improve the quality of meshes before use in numerical solution of the PDE.
