چکیده
In this paper we present three improvements over the BergerColella’s adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) approach: adaptive clustering algorithm, conservative prolongation and restriction for cylindrical and spherical grid, and divergence-free reconstruction for AMR.

We present an adaptive mesh and algorithmic refinement (AMAR) scheme for modeling multi–scale hydrodynamics. The AMAR approach extends standard conservative adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) algorithms by providing a robust flux–based method for coupling an atomistic fluid representation to a continuum model. The atomistic model is applied locally in regions where the continuum description is inva...

متن کاملA novel approach of divergence-free reconstruction for adaptive mesh refinement
A simple novel approach to maintain the divergence-free condition with adaptive mesh refinement is presented. This new approach uses reconstructions on the coarse faces together with the divergence-free condition to reconstruct the field values on the internal fine faces. It does not construct a global interpolation polynomial over a whole coarse cell. Therefore, it can be easily applied to any...
متن کاملAdaptive Method of Lines for Magneto-Hydrodynamic PDE Models
An adaptive grid technique for use in the solution of multi-dimensional time-dependent PDEs is applied to several magnetohydrodynamic model problems. The technique employs the method-of-lines and can be viewed both in a continuous and semi-discrete setting. By using an equidis-tribution principle, it has the ability to track individual features of the physical solutions in the developing plasma...

We describe a grid-based numerical method for 3D hydrody-namic cosmological simulations which is adaptive in space and time and combines the best features of higher order–accurate Godunov schemes for Eulerian hydrodynamics with adaptive particle–mesh methods for collision-less particles. The basis for our method is the structured adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) algorithm of Berger & Collela (198...
