[Gmsh] Gmsh information

[Bastien Gorissen]

Dear Vanessa,

I am also a PhD students, from Belgium, and I am one of the developpers 
behind the high-order mesh functionality of Gmsh.

There is currently still a lot of work going into that, so the changes 
are fairly frequent. But currently, for simple geometries, it should be 
suitable, especially if you use tetrahedral meshes.

For hybrid meshes, you should be able to create second order meshes as 
of now, but support for higher orders need to be implemented for 
pyramids and prisms.

I do not know any applications in your specific field, as we do mostly 
turbomachinery and external aerodynamics computations, though.

If you need more information, feel free to ask!

Regards,
-Bastien Gorissen
