Abstract In this paper, we derive an adaptive mesh generation method for discretizing the incompressible flow using node-based local grids. The flow problem is described by the Stokes equations which are solved by a stabilized low-order P1-P1 (linear velocity, linear pressure) mixed finite element method. The proposed node-based adaptive mesh generation method consists of four components: mesh size modification, a node placement procedure, a node-based local mesh generation strategy and an error estimation technique, which are combined so as to guarantee obtaining a conforming refined/coarsened mesh. The nodes are considered as particles with interaction forces, which are generated by dynamic simulation… More >
