Abstract

In this note we propose a local post-refinement technique, which can be used to provide the overall conformity of tetrahedral and hexahedral meshes meeting at the planar interface, which presents a quite common situation in many simulations of real-life problems. The same technique can be also used for the case of two adjacent non-matching hexahedral meshes.
