Volume boundary layer mesh generation on non- smooth geometries with multiple normals is considered in this work. A new highlight is given to corner and ridge boundary layer mesh generation through the generalized Voronoi diagram in general, and the spherical Voronoi diagram in particular. This provides the keystone to allow for the first time boundary layer mesh generation at arbitrary corner configurations. The work proposed in [18] is revisited and compared with the new approach. A detailed description of the new algorithm is provided. The spherical Voronoi diagram delivers geometrically the optimal normals as well as topologically the optimal connectivities, as far as normality is concerned. Numerical examples illustrate the accuracy and robustness of the method. This approach seems to handle arbitrary geometry boundary layer mesh generation, in theory as well as in practice.
