Abstract
This paper is concerned with how to make effective use of adaptive grids to correctly simulate the transportation of fronts over a long range of time under reasonable CPU time. These step gradients arise from systems of conservation laws modelling two-phase flows in pipelines. We propose not only a multi-resolution setup in order to adapt the space grid to the local smoothness of the solution, but also a local time stepping strategy in order to alleviate the constraints due to the CFL stability condition. A special focus is given to the optimal choice of micro time steps within a macro time step. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the methods put forward.
