Error-estimate based adaptive mesh refinement: A user-independent approach for LES

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has become an indispensable tool in research and engineering. Even though the performance of computers is increasing at unfathomable speeds, the calculation of many fluid problems remains to be challenging. With the emerging widespread use of Large Eddy Simulation (LES), the computational cost of simulations...

A generalized patch AMR platform that uses cell centered or cell vertex solvers

A patch adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) platform is presented. Presently two Navier-Stokes solvers are available within this platform : a MUSCL and DG solver (FLUX AMR) and a multi-species MUSCL solver (MAJIC) for reacting flows. The first solver is based on cell centered approaches of finite volume type, the second solver is based on a cell...
