Anisotropic mesh adaption: Towards user-independent, mesh-independent and solver-independent CFD. I: General principles. (English) Zbl 0981.76052

Int. J. Numer. Methods Fluids 32, No. 6, 725-744 (2000).

From the summary: The present paper is the lead article in a three-part series on anisotropic mesh adaptation and its applications to structured and unstructured meshes. A flexible approach is proposed and tested on two-dimensional, inviscid and viscous, finite volume and finite element flow solvers, over a wide range of speeds. The directional properties of an interpolation-based error estimate, extracted from the Hessian of the solution, are used to control the size and orientation of mesh edges. The approach is encapsulated into an edge-based anisotropic mesh optimization methodology (MOM), which uses a judicious sequence of four local operations: refinement, coarsening, edge swapping and point movement, to equi-distribute the error estimate along all edges, without any recourse to remeshing. The mesh adaptation convergence of the MOM loop is carefully studied for a wide variety of test cases.
