Definition

A geometric quality metric that quantifies the deviation of discretization elements from an ideal reference shape (e.g., equilateral triangle or square), often measured via angle deviation, Jacobian distortion, or normalized edge-length differences; it captures alignment and angular distortion rather than size.
