摘要
Semi-Lagrangian(S-L)methods have no CFL stability constraint,and are more stable than the Eulerian methods.In the literature,the S-L method for the levelset re-initialization equation was complicated,which may be unnecessary.Since the re-initialization procedure is auxiliary,we propose to use the first-order S-L scheme coupled with a projection technique to improve the accuracy at the grid points just adjacent to the interface.Standard second-order S-L method is used for evolving the level-set convection equation.The implementation is simple,including on the block-structured adaptive mesh.The efficiency of the S-L method is demonstrated by extensive numerical examples including passive convection of interfaces with corners/kinks/large deformation under given velocity fields,a geometrical flow with topological changes,simulations of bubble/droplet dynamics in incompressible twophase flows.In terms of accuracy it is comparable to the other existing methods.
