Adaptive Mesh Refinement

Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) is a computational technique used in simulations to improve accuracy efficiently. It works by dynamically adjusting the detail level of the computational grid: areas needing higher precision—like regions with complex phenomena—are given finer, more detailed meshes, while simpler regions use coarser grids. This adaptive approach allows simulations to focus resources where they’re most needed, allowing for precise results without excessive computational cost. AMR is widely used in fields such as astrophysics, fluid dynamics, and climate modeling to produce detailed insights efficiently.
