Mesh generation plays an important role in the finite element method. In hydraulic structures and rock foundation, due to the existence of holes and thin layer structure, such as the galleries, seepage control system, weak seams, joints, and so on, the meshes generation is usually pretty difficult, the poor quality elements, or even illegal elements will be produced inevitably in the process, which causes the results of numerical analysis to be biased or even wrong. At present, the technology of automatic generation of 2D meshes is mature, but when some special areas are encountered, problems such as abnormal interruptions often occur. In this paper, based on the advance front method, the quadrilateral automatic mesh generation algorithm, aiming at the mesh of the thin structures containing the horizontal and vertical edges in hydraulic structures and its bedrock, as well as other complex boundaries, is researched to improve the robustness of automatic mesh generation of complex area, this research is of great significance to the popularization and application of the finite element method in hydraulic engineering. The improved automatic mesh generation algorithm is successfully applied to the seepage analysis case of earth-rock dam, which verify the feasibility, robustness and rationality of the improved method proposed in this paper.
