Adaptive multiresolution approach for solution of hyperbolic PDEs Original Research Article

This paper establishes an innovative and efficient multiresolution adaptive approach combined with high-resolution methods, for the numerical solution of a single or a system of partial differential equations. The proposed methodology is unconditionally bounded (even for hyperbolic equations) and dynamically adapts the grid so that higher spatial resolution is automatically allocated to domain regions where strong gradients are observed, thus possessing the two desired properties of a numerical approach: stability and accuracy. Numerical results for five test problems are presented which clearly show the robustness and cost effectiveness of the proposed method.
