An effective quadrilateral mesh adaptation

Abstract: Accuracy of a simulation strongly depends on the grid quality. Here, quality means orthogonality at the boundaries and quasi-orthogonality within the critical regions, smoothness, bounded aspect ratios and solution adaptive behaviour. It is not recommended to refine the parts of the domain where the solution shows little variation. It is desired to concentrate grid points and cells in the part of the domain where the solution shows strong gradients or variations. We present a simple, effective and computationally efficient approach for quadrilateral mesh adaptation. Several numerical examples are presented for supporting our claim.

Key words: Quadrilateral mesh, Area functional, Adaptive function, Jacobian, Partial differential equations
