“…To efficiently match curved solution features, many practitioners have recently started to exploit curved high-order meshes. These meshes can be stretched and aligned in a pointwise varying fashion through anisotropic procedures [12], geodesic approaches for curved edges [13,14], shock-tracking methods [15,16,17], and deformation analogies [18,19]. Alternatively, the curved r-adaption can be driven, as for straight-edged elements [4,5], by distortion measures.…”
