Metric-Based Adaptive Mesh Refinement and Flux Error in CFD Problems

Abstract

The present conference paper discusses a new adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) method implemented in our in-house open-source solver Basilisk [2]. The solver uses a cell-centered volume of fluid (VOF) approach [5] for the numerical résolution on isotropic octree/quadtree meshes. The current AMR method is meant to improve the accuracy of resolution namely when dealing with multi-scale problems with or w/o singularities or multi-phase flows [4].
