CONCLUSIONS • MPDATA evinces properties useful for construction of refinement indicators. • Edge-based data structure enables the use of MPDATA in conjunction with all standard adaptive meshing techniques known for unstructured meshes. • NFT MPDATA edge-based Euler solver has low implicit diffusion and remains accurate for a broad range of flow speeds. • Present work extends utility of MPDATA to new applications
