Anisotropic meshes are essential to improve the efficiency and accuracy of numerical solutions. Generating anisotropic meshes remains a challenging problem in both theory and applications. In this talk, we address this topic from an application point of view. In particular, we show applications in surface meshing and numerical solutions. We will review the mathematical principles of anisotropic mesh adaptation and explore the connection with quasi-conformal mapping theory. We then discuss practical metric-based Delaunay algorithms to generate anisotropic meshes. We finish with some remarks on software implementation.
