The basic goal of adaptive-mesh algorithms is to distribute computational resources wisely, by increasing the resolution of “important” regions of the flow, and decreasing the resolution of regions that are less important. While this goal is one that is, more often than not, worthwhile, implementing schemes that have this degree of sophistication remains more of an art than a science. In this paper, the basic pieces of adaptive-mesh algorithms are described, and some of the possible ways to implement them are discussed and compared. These basic pieces are: the data structure to be used; the generation of an initial mesh; the criterion to be used to adapt the mesh to the solution; and the flow-solver algorithm on the resulting mesh. Each of these is discussed, with particular emphasis on methods suitable for the computation of compressible flows.
