Helmit — A New Interface Reconstruction Algorithm

  • Chapter
Book cover Godunov Methods

Abstract

A new interface reconstruction algorithm is presented which represents the interface within each cell as two connected line segments. This enables interfaces to be continuous across cell boundaries and allows T-junctions to be represented.
