This paper presents an adaptive algorithm whose time step control utilizes the post-processed solution. The algorithm is applied to convection-dominated convection-diffusion equations. It is shown that the length of the time step properly reflects the dynamics of the solution. The numerical costs of the adaptive algorithm are discussed.application/pdfeng510Continuous Galerkin-Petrov methoddiscontinuous Galerkin methodpost-processed solutionadaptive step length controlSUPG stabilizationReport
