The new method is constructed using a multi-dimensional kernel-based Gaussian Process (GP) prolongation model. The formulation for this scheme was inspired by the GP methods introduced by A. Reyes et al. (A New Class of High-Order Methods for Fluid Dynamics Simulation using Gaussian Process Modeling, Journal of Scientific Computing, 76 (2017), 443-480; A variable high-order shock-capturing finite difference method with GP-WENO, Journal of Computational Physics, 381 (2019), 189-217). In this paper, we extend the previous GP interpolations and reconstructions to a new GP-based AMR prolongation method that delivers a high-order accurate prolongation of data from coarse to fine grids on AMR grid hierarchies. In compressible flow simulations special care is necessary to handle shocks and discontinuities in a stable manner. To meet this, we utilize the shock handling strategy using the GP-based smoothness indicators developed in the previous GP work by A. Reyes et al. We demonstrate the efficacy of the GP-AMR method in a series of testsuite problems using the AMReX library, in which the GP-AMR method has been implemented.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/2003.08508v3","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/2003.08508v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"an-application-of-gaussian-process-modeling","repo_url":"https://github.com/stevenireeves/amrex","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
