Abstract
This paper presents the results of an investigation into a possible alternative to Monte Carlo methods for solving the transported probability density function (PDF) equation for scalars (compositions). The method uses a finiteβvolume approach combined with adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) in a multiβdimensional compositional space. Comparisons are made between the new method and Monte Carlo solutions for analytical test cases involving the reaction of two or three chemical species. These tests demonstrate the potential of the new method in terms of both accuracy and run time. Additional test cases involving various models for molecular mixing were also conducted with similar conclusions. Copyright Β© 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

An adaptive moving mesh method is developed for the numerical solution of an enthalpy formulation of heat conduction problems with a phase change. The algorithm is based on a very simple mesh modification strategy that allows the smooth evolution of mesh nodes to track interfaces. At each time step
A method capable of solving very fast and robust complex non-linear systems of equations is presented. The block adaptive multigrid @AM) method combines mesh adaptive techniques w i t h multigrid and domain decomposition methods. The overall method is based on the FAS multigrid, but instead of using
