Adaptive Mesh Refinement: Algorithms and Applications

November 15, 2024

TIME: 3:30 PM

LOCATION: GMCS 314

SPEAKER: Dr. Ann Almgren,Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

ABSTRACT:

 Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) is a technique we use as a numerical microscope to zoom in on areas of interest in a computer simulation. With more resolution we get more accurate answers and can see in more detail what is happening in the simulation. In this talk I will describe in general terms how AMR works and how we use it effectively on today’s supercomputers, and I will present examples from a wide range of applications.
