Finite Element Methods (FEM) and Spectral Element Methods (SEM) are crucial for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) on complex geometries. SEM offers superior accuracy due to potential superconvergence for simple domains. Challenges persist for domains with curved boundaries, restricting SEM’s advantages in real-world applications. A proposed solution is the introduction of a novel strategy to enhance accuracy and maintain superconvergence of SEM in curved domains. The strategy includes a mesh-generation procedure with geometrically refined elements near curved boundaries and a post-processing phase using the Adaptive Extended Stencil Finite Element Method (AES-FEM). The method, named AES-FEM post-processed Spectral Element Method (ApSEM), aligns the accuracy of non-tensor-product elements with superconvergent spectral elements.
