Abstract :
We present a time and space adaptive Finite Element Method for the computation of linear acoustic wave propagation. Therewith, the calculation scheme automatically performs the time and space discretization in order to minimize the numerical dispersion. A numerical case study will demonstrate the applicability of the developed scheme.
