Description

Problem

The svMulltiPhysics solver currently implements remeshing operations for the fluid mesh in FSI simulations. The solver monitors element Jacobians as the measure of element distortion and performs an on-the-fly remeshing if the Jacobian <= 0.

There is currently no support for adaptive mesh refinement based on solution variables (e.g., pressure, velocity).

Solution

Implement adaptive mesh refinement based on solution variables.

Additional context

The SimVascular application did support adaptive mesh refinement base on the svSolver simulation results (e.g., ybar).
