In one-dimension, meshes are typically specified using the arclength mesh density function. This choice is well-justified for piecewise polynomial interpolants, but it is only justified for spectral methods when model solutions include localised steep gradients. In this paper, one-dimensional mesh density functions are presented which are based on a spatially localised measure of the bandwidth of the approximated model solution. In considering bandwidth, these mesh density functions are well-justified for spectral methods, but are not strictly tied to the error properties of any particular spatial interpolant, and are hence widely applicable. The bandwidth mesh density functions are demonstrated by applying periodic spectral and finite-difference moving mesh methods to a number of model problems in acoustics. These problems include a heterogeneous advection equation, the viscous Burgers' equation, and the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Simulation results demonstrate solution convergence rates that are up to an order of magnitude faster using the bandwidth mesh density functions than uniform meshes, and around three times faster than those using the arclength mesh density function. date: 2017-11 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.4208/cicp.OA-2016-0246 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1198804 doi: 10.4208/cicp.OA-2016-0246 lyricists_name: Cox, Benjamin lyricists_name: Treeby, Bradley lyricists_name: Wise, Elliott lyricists_id: BTCOX21 lyricists_id: BTREE66 lyricists_id: EWISE92 actors_name: Dewerpe, Marie actors_id: MDDEW97 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Communications in Computational Physics volume: 22 number: 5 pagerange: 1286-1308 issn: 1815-2406 citation: Wise, ES; Cox, BT; Treeby, BE; (2017) Mesh Density Functions Based on Local Bandwidth Applied to Moving Mesh Methods.
