What is it about?
A multimesh adaptive scheme for convection–diffusion–reaction problems for a large number of components is presented. The problem is solved by splitting transport and reaction processes. This way, the evaluation of the nonreactive part for each component and the reaction at each node constitute independent tasks. This allows to discretize each component of the solution on a distinct computational mesh, adapted on the basis of its error indicator.

Why is it important?
Simulations of a point emission in a 3D domain are presented. Examples with several reaction terms, with an increase of the complexity, are included. Results show that the accuracy of single-mesh and multimesh strategies are similar. Instead, the computational cost of the multimesh strategy is lower than the single-mesh in the majority of the examples. The efficiency of the multimesh strategy increases with the number of species and the number of species that develop a plume.
