We consider a model for laser surface remelting, a process to improve the surface quality of steel components. The mathematical model consists of the two-dimensional heat equation for temperature and an ordinary differential equation for the liquid phase. The equations are coupled via source terms. We study the efficient numerical simulation using adaptive grids, which are especially well-suited for problems with moving heat sources. To account for the local high activity due to the heat source, we introduce local uniform grids and couple the solutions on the global coarse and local fine grids using the local defect correction (LDC) technique.
