A fast modular numerical method for solving general moving interface problems is presented. It simplifies code development by providing a black-box solver which moves a given interface one step with given normal velocity. The method combines an efficiently redistanced level set approach, a problem-i

β¦ Synopsis
General moving-interface problems are solved by a new approach: evaluating an explicit semi-Lagrangian advection formula with efficient geometric algorithms and extracting the moving interface with a fast new contouring technique. The new approach decouples spatial and temporal resolutions, and grid-free adaptive refinement of the interface increases accuracy dramatically. A modular implementation, with a fast new intrinsic geometry module, computes highly accurate solutions to geometric moving-interface problems involving merging, anisotropy, and faceting; with a highorder embedded geometry module, it solves second-order problems involving curvature, dynamic topology, and nonlocal interactions.

A method is introduced to decrease the computational labor of the standard level set method for propagating interfaces. The fast approach uses only points close to the curve at every time step. We describe this new algorithm and compare its efficiency and accuracy with the standard level set approac
We present a semi-Lagrangian method for advection-diffusion and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The focus is on constructing stable schemes of secondorder temporal accuracy, as this is a crucial element for the successful application of semi-Lagrangian methods to turbulence simulations. We i
We describe a finite volume semi-Lagrangian method for the numerical approximation of conservation laws arising in fluid-dynamic applications. A discrete conservation relation is satisfied by using conservative interpolation for the material (or property) being conserved. The method was developed wi
## Abstract A new 3D fast physical optics method is presented for computing the diffracted field by a conducting plate with arbitrary contour. This is a fast and accurate method both in low and high frequency. This method combines classical path deformation technique with Jacobi orthogonal polynomi
