Abstract

A multi-level cell by cell Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) hydrodynamics capability has been developed for the Lagrangian step of the 2D Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) code CORVUS. Connectivity arrays are used rather than a hierarchical data structure. We solve only on the dynamic unstructured mesh rather than on every level of a refinement hierarchy. The strength, artificial viscosity, slide and programmed burn methods have been generalised to work with AMR. Results are presented for a range of Lagrangian test problems.
