New results concerning the construction and application of adaptive numerical grids for solving applied problems are presented. The grid generation technique is based on the numerical solu tion of inverted Beltrami and diffusion equations for a monitor metric. The capabilities of the spherical metric tensor as applied to adaptive grid generation are examined in detail. Adaptive hexahedral grids are used to numerically solve a boundary value problem for the three dimensional heat equation with a moving boundary in a continuous medium with discontinuous thermophysical parameters; this problem models the interaction of a thermal wave with a thermocouple embedded in the solid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
