“…Among the techniques considered so far are elaborate moving mesh methods [5], dynamically adaptive overlapping structured meshes [6], boundaryaligned structured meshes [7], and purely Eulerian Cartesian methods that either use octree-based cell-wise refinement [8,9] or a patch-based approach with block-structured refinement grids [10,11,12,13]. In here, we focus on the latter adaptation methodology, originally proposed for non-reactive gas dynamics [14], since it promises greatest performance on the current generation of super-scalar computers.…”
