Abstract
A mechanism is provided for targeted, iterative refinement of advection-diffusion model grid resolution. A simulation is executed of advection-diffusion processes for an area associated with a user-defined location. Responsive to detecting an event within a subset of cells of a first set of cells, the subset of cells is refined such that each of the subset of cells is gridded to comprise a second set of cells with dimensions less than the first set of cells. A number of run-time floating-point operations per second (FLOPS) of the model is computed for each of the first set of cells and the second set of cells. Based on a collective time associated with a computed number of FLOPS failing to exceed the user-defined constraint, the simulation continues to execute with the first set of cells and the second set of cells. The process is repeated until a predetermined resolution value is met.
