Abstract
In this paper three different adaptivity techniques have been investigated on the base of structured meshes. All the techniques indicate the significance of using adaptivity for improving computational results. In particular, the technique of combining point enrichment and node movement strategies offers the best compromise. Although, the work presented here used two-dimensional structured meshes, the techniques can be readily applied to hybrid and unstructured meshes. Also, preliminary three-dimensional numerical results have been already obtained by coauthors.
