A 2D/3D object-oriented program with h-type adaptive mesh refinement method is developed for finite element analysis of the multi-physics applications including heat transfer. A framework with some basic classes that enable the code to be built accordingly to the type of problem to be solved is proposed. The program consists of different modules and classes, which ease code development for large-scale complex systems, code extension and program maintenance. The developed program can be used as a “test-bed” program for testing new analysis techniques and algorithms with high extensibility and flexibility. The overall mesh refinement causes the CPU time cost to greatly increase as the mesh is refined. However, the CPU time cost does not increase very much with the increase of the level of h-adaptive mesh refinement. The CPU time cost can be saved by up to 90%, especially for the simulated system with a large number of elements and nodes.

AbstractThe MHD simulations of stellar jets recently included complex models of radiative emission computation, allowing for better predictions in terms of emission line ratios. Employing also Adaptive Mesh Refinement, the large-scale propagation of jets could be followed. The simulation of multiple shockwaves originating in perturbations close to the jet origin and travelling along the jet beam allows for the construction of synthetic emission maps at various wavelengths, to be directly compared to observations. We apply this procedure for the jets originating from RW Aurigae.

Abstract Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) is a technique that has been featured only sporadically in atmospheric science literature. This paper aims to demonstrate the utility of AMR for simulating atmospheric flows. Several test cases are implemented in a 2D shallow-water model on the sphere using the Chombo-AMR dynamical core. This high-order finite-volume model implements adaptive refinement in both space and time on a cubed-sphere grid using a mapped-multiblock mesh technique. The tests consist of the passive advection of a tracer around moving vortices, a steady-state geostrophic flow, an unsteady solid-body rotation, a gravity wave impinging on a mountain, and the interaction of binary vortices. Both static and dynamic refinements are analyzed to determine the strengths and weaknesses of AMR in both complex flows with small-scale features and large-scale smooth flows. The different test cases required different AMR criteria, such as vorticity or height-gradient based thresholds, in order to achieve the best accuracy for cost. The simulations show that the model can accurately resolve key local features without requiring global high-resolution grids. The adaptive grids are able to track features of interest reliably without inducing noise or visible distortions at the coarse–fine interfaces. Furthermore, the AMR grids keep any degradations of the large-scale smooth flows to a minimum.
