A Two-Dimensional Mesh Refinement Method for Problems with One-Dimensional Singularities

Abstract

This paper introduces a method for resolving internal layers that can occur in the solutions of time-dependent differential equations in two space dimensions. Singular features in these solutions that are essentially one-dimensional in nature but are not oriented with the computational mesh are resolved using one-dimensional mesh refinement techniques with a procedure that is similar to an ADI method. A careful interpolation procedure assures that the resolution obtained in each ADI step is not lost in the succeeding ADI step.
