contents Computational technologies for the approximate solution of multidimensional boundary value problems often rely on irregular computational meshes and finite-volume approximations. In this framework, the discrete problem represents the corresponding conservation law for control volumes associated with the nodes of the mesh. This approach is most naturally and consistently implemented using Delaunay triangulations together with Voronoi diagrams as control volumes. In this paper, we employ meshes with nodes located both at the vertices of Delaunay triangulations and at the generators of Voronoi partitions. The cells of the merged Voronoi-Delaunay mesh are orthodiagonal quadrilaterals. On such meshes, scalar and vector functions, as well as invariant gradient and divergence operators of vector calculus, can be conveniently approximated. We illustrate the capabilities of this approach by solving a steady-state diffusion-reaction problem in an anisotropic medium.
