  • Abstract
    A new method for local grid refinement in unstructured meshes is presented. This technique uses an error estimator to guide the location of refinement, but then refines in a way to preserve or improve the grid quality. These algorithms are described and compared for sample test problems. A final example for an advanced isolation structure is also presented using the new algorithms.
