Need help: How to implement a spatially adaptive mesh on target area using UWGeodynamics? #253

Closed Peigen-L closed 2 years ago

Peigen-L commented 2 years ago

Hi all,

I am trying to reproduce the subduction model in W. P. Schellart, 2017 79ee11a829f519f249f3ab5c79e0b40

The script has been posted here: Shellart design_patrice_ray_pl.txt This model is run by Gadi(image: underworldcode/underworld2:2.10.1b)

In the model design, a spatially adaptive mesh has been implemented on such a domain of 3000 km(length) * 290 km(depth) around the subduction zone to give this critical region a maximum resolution with cells with spatial dimensions of 9.8 km(length) by 7.6 km (depth).

I wonder can we do that using UWGeodynamics?
