Popis: We present a mesh management strategy for use with discontinuous-Galerkin space-time finite element formulations of flow problems. We propose a refinement technique for simplex-type meshes which requires no interpolation between grids at slab interfaces. The strategy uses an a posteriori spatial error estimator to tag refinement or coarsening. Orientation of element edges along flow characteristics is accomplished by nodal displacement, and by a new diagonal-swapping technique to correct for the effects of misalignment due to h-refinement. The swapping procedure realigns the mesh to improve the effectiveness of the h-adaptive process. Results are presented for the Burgers Equation using large time steps on a problem which exhibits merging and steepening fronts
