Anisotropic mesh adaptation based upon a posteriori error estimates

چکیده
An anisotropic mesh adaptation strategy for finite element solution of elliptic differential equations is considered. The adaptation method generates anisotropic adaptive meshes as quasiuniform ones in some metric space. The associated metric tensor is computed by means of a posteriori hierarchical error estimates. A global hierarchical error estimate is employed in this study to obtain reliable directional information of the solution. The exact solution of the corresponding global error problem can be very costly. However, numerical results show that a few iterations of the symmetric Gauß-Seidel method are sufficient for obtaining a reasonably good approximation to the error for use in anisotropic mesh adaptation. The new method is compared with several strategies using local error estimators or recovered Hessians. Numerical results are presented for a selection of test examples and a mathematical model for heat conduction in a thermal battery with large orthotropic jumps in the material coefficients.

متن کاملAnisotropic mesh adaption based on a posteriori estimates and optimisation of node positions
Boundary or interior layers are usually highly directional solution features. Thus, suitable anisotropic meshes, reflecting the directional features of the solution, provide the basis for the most efficient numerical approximation. Anisotropic mesh design strategies based upon a priori analysis have been developed for a variety of PDE problems and discretisations. On the other hand a posteriori...

In this paper, we consider the numerical solution of time-dependent PDEs using a finite element method based upon rh-adaptivity. An adaptive horizontal method of lines strategy equipped with a posteriori error estimates to control the discretization through variable time steps and spatial grid adaptations is used. Our approach combines an r-refinement method based upon solving so-called moving ...
متن کاملOn the use of anisotropic a posteriori error estimators for the adaptative solution of 3D inviscid compressible flows
This paper describes the use of an a posteriori error estimator to control anisotropic mesh adaptation for computing inviscid compressible flows. The a posteriori error estimator and the coupling strategy with an anisotropic remesher are first introduced. The mesh adaptation is controlled by a single-parameter tolerance (TOL) in regions where the solution is regular, whereas a condition on the ...
متن کاملAdaptive time-step with anisotropic meshing for incompressible flows
This talk focuses on the development of a new space and time adaptive method for incompressible flows. We start with an overview about the anisotropic mesh adaptation, introduced in [1]. The latter method is developed using a posteriori estimates relying on the length distribution tensor approach and the associated edge based error analysis. The key point of this work is the extension of the me...
