In this paper, a reverse-quadtree adaptive grid technique is proposed in order to improve the quadtree adaptive grid technique in the fast multipole method. Taking flow past a cylinder as an example, the results indicate the reverse-quadtree scheme can save more calculation time than the quadtree scheme when the particle population is large enough. %K reverse-quadtree adaptive grid technique %K fast multipole method %K vortex method %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0354-9836/2012/0354-98361205515H.pdf
