Abstract
This paper describes work in progress at Hitachi Dublin Laboratory to develop a parallel adaptive mesh refinement library. The library has been designed to be linked with a finite element simulation engine for solving three-dimensional unstructured turbulent fluid dynamics problems, using large eddy simulation. The library takes as input a distributed mesh and a list of mesh elements to be refined, carries out the refinement in parallel on the distributed data structure, redistributes the computational load and passes the updated mesh back to the main simulation engine. The library has been implemented and tested on the distributed memory parallel machine, the Hitachi SR2201. Results of performance and scalability of the code are given.
