Abstract

We present a parallel unstructured mesh adaptation algorithm based on iterative remeshing and mesh repartitioning. The algorithm rests on a two-level parallelization scheme allowing to tweak the mesh group size for remeshing, and on a mesh repartitioning scheme based on interface displacement by front advancement. The numerical procedure is implemented in the open source ParMmg software package. It enables the reuse of existing sequential remeshing libraries, a non-intrusive linkage with thirdparty solvers, and a tunable exploitation of distributed parallel environments. We show the efficiency of the approach by comparing interface displacement repartitioning with graph-based repartitioning, and by showing isotropic weak-scaling tests and preliminary anisotropic tests.
