discretize.TreeMesh.max_level#

TreeMesh.max_level#

Maximum allowable refinement level for the mesh.

The maximum refinement level for a tree mesh depends on the number of underlying tensor mesh cells along each axis direction; which are always powers of 2. Where N is the number of underlying tensor mesh cells along a given axis, then the maximum allowable level of refinement $k_{max}$ is given by:

$$k_{max}={\log }_2(N)$$

Returns:

int
