Abstract:
We propose a procedure aiming at reducing the computational cost involved
in the numerical approximation of (possibly nonlinear) advectiondiffusion-
reaction systems. The idea is to suitably combine a model with a
mesh adaptive procedure. In particular we first derive, separately, a model
error estimator and an anisotropic estimator for the discretization error,
suited for driving a model and a mesh adaptivity algorithm, respectively.
These two strategies are then properly combined, allowing for a merged
model-mesh control. The whole procedure is finally assessed on some numerical
test cases, essentially inspired by ecological and environmental application
