In this paper a least squares measure of a residual is minimized to move an unstructured triangular mesh into an optimal position, both for the solution of steady systems of conservation laws and for functional approximation. The result minimizes a least squares measure of an equidistribution norm, which is a norm measuring the uniformity of a fluctuation monitor. The minimization is carried out using a steepest descent approach. Shocks are treated using a mesh with degenerate triangles. Results are shown for a steady‐scalar advection problem and two flows governed by the Euler equations of gasdynamics. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
