Abstract
SPRINT2D is a set of software tools for solving time-dependent partial differential equations in two space variables. The software uses unstructured triangular meshes and adaptive error control in both space and time. This chapter describes the software and shows how the adaptive techniques may be used to increase the reliability of the solution procedure for a challenging combustion problem. The recent construction of a problem solving environment (PSE) has partially automated the use of SPRINT2D. This PSE consists of tools such as a visual domain specification tool, which helps ease the input of complex geometries, and a visual problem specification tool. After describing these components an evaluation will be made of SPRINT2D and its associated PSE.
