Parallel Metric-Based Mesh Adaptation in PETSc using ParMmg

Abstract: This research note documents the integration of the MPI-parallel metric-based mesh adaptation toolkit ParMmg into the solver library PETSc. This coupling brings robust, scalable anisotropic mesh adaptation to a wide community of PETSc users, as well as users of downstream packages. We demonstrate the new functionality via the solution of Poisson problems in three dimensions, with both uniform and spatially-varying right-hand sides.
