Temperature-based estimation of time of death (ToD) can be per-
formed either with the help of simple phenomenological models of corpse
cooling or with detailed mechanistic (thermodynamic) heat transfer mod-
els. The latter are much more complex, but allow a higher accuracy of
ToD estimation as in principle all relevant cooling mechanisms can be
taken into account.
The potentially higher accuracy depends on the accuracy of tissue and
environmental parameters as well as on the geometric resolution. We in-
vestigate the impact of parameter variations and geometry representation
on the estimated ToD based on a highly detailed 3D corpse model, that
has been segmented and geometrically reconstructed from a computed to-
mography (CT) data set, differentiating various organs and tissue types.
From that we identify the most crucial parameters to measure or estimate,
and obtain a local uncertainty quantifcation for the ToD.

In this paper we present a self--adaptive finite element method to solve flame propagation problems in 3D. An implicit time integrator of Rosenbrock type is coupled with a multilevel approach in space. The proposed method is applied to an unsteady thermo--diffusive combustion model to demonstrate its potential for the solution of complicated problems.

KARDOS solves nonlinear evolution problems in 1, 2, and 3D. An adaptive multilevel finite element algorithm is used to solve the spatial problems arising from linearly implicit discretization methods in time. Local refinement and derefinement techniques are used to handle the development of the mesh over time. The software engineering techniques used to implement the modules of the KASKADE toolbox are reviewed and their application to the extended problem class is described. A notification system and dynamic construction of records are discussed and their values for the implementation of a mesh transfer operation are shown. The need for low-level and high--level interface elements of a module is discussed for the assembling procedure of KARDOS. At the end we will summarize our experiences.
