A two-dimensional solution-adaptive grid generation method is presented. The grid adaptation problem is formulated in the same parameter space P{sub st} as used in for elliptic grid generation. In parameter space, the solution vector is considered as a monitor surface, and the Laplace-Beltrami equation is used to cover the monitor surface with a uniform distribution of grid points. The projection of these points on the (s, t) plane define the adapted grid in parameter space P{sub st}. The elliptic grid generation technique, as presented in, can be used to map the adapted grid from parameter space into the physical space.
