What Does AMR Stand For?
AMR stands for Adaptive Mesh Refinement
Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) is a computational technique used in numerical simulations to improve resolution in areas of interest while maintaining efficiency in less critical regions. By dynamically adjusting the mesh size based on solution gradients or other criteria, AMR allows for more accurate modeling of complex phenomena, such as fluid dynamics and astrophysical processes, without unnecessary computational overhead. This approach enhances computational performance and precision by focusing resources on critical areas, thereby optimizing resource usage and reducing simulation times.
