Accurate numerical computation of complex flows on a single grid requires very fine meshes to capture phenomena occurring at both large and small scales. The use of adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) methods, significantly reduces the involved computational time and memory. In the present article, a hybrid linking approach for solving the conservation equations with an AMR method is proposed. This method is essentially a coupling between the h-AMR and the multigrid methods. The efficiency of the present approach has been demonstrated by solving species and Navier–Stokes equations.
