Abstract
This chapter describes space adaptive approaches developed by six TILDA partners for the application in scale-resolving simulations. They are designed to provide sufficient spatial resolution in regions where required and to allow a lower resolution elsewhere for efficiency reasons. Adaptation techniques considered include mesh (h-refinement), order refinement of the spatial discretization (p-refinement) or a combination of both (hp-refinement). Furthermore, near-wall local mesh refinement, refinement using feature-based indicators and indicators obtained from the Variational Multiscale Method are considered.

As pointed out in [66], in order to reduce the sensitivity of the error estimators to the local mesh size, the SSED indicator is here normalized by the square root of the element volume while the residual-based indicator is normalized by the characteristic element size.
