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

β¦ Synopsis
The paper investigates the viability of using moving mesh methods to simulate travelling wave solutions of Fisher's equation. Results are presented that illustrate the weaknesses in moving mesh methods based on equidistribution of some popular monitor functions. It is shown that knowledge of the differential equation and the travelling wave solution may be used to construct a monitor function that yields accurate results with suitably chosen moving mesh methods. A comparison is made between a moving mesh partial differential equation and a moving mesh differentialalgebraic equation for the evolution in time.

Computation of the spatial derivatives with non-local differential operators, such as the Fourier pseudospectral method, may cause strong numerical artifacts in the form of noncausal ringing. This situation occurs when regular grids are used. The problem is attacked by using a staggered pseudospectr
Numerical experiments are described which illustrate some important features of the performance of moving mesh methods for solving two-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs). Here we are concerned with algorithms based on moving mesh methods proposed by W. Huang and R. D. Russell [SIAM J.
The automatic three-dimensional mesh generation system for molecular geometries developed in our laboratory is used to solve the PoissonαBoltzmann equation numerically using a finite element method. For a number of different systems, the results are found to be in good agreement with those obtained
