Stream-aligned meshing: remove sharp turns (meander bends) in the river mesh to avoid small triangles #48

Closed saubhagya-gatech closed 1 year ago

For large-scale simulations, long-quad sizes (>150m) can lead to some meanders being reduced to bends in the river mesh at almost 180 degrees. To avoid a small triangle trapped in the bend, the user should be able to remove these sharp bends. This option should be available in the redensify step.

Function to limit sharp angles is included in the refining step of the river tree.
