Accurate modeling of moving boundaries and interfaces is a difficulty present in many situations of computational mechanics. We use the eXtreme Mesh deformation approach (X-Mesh) to simulate the interaction between two immiscible flows…

Multiphase flows are characterized by sharp moving interfaces, separating different fluids or phases. In many cases the dynamics of the interface determines the behavior of the flow. In a coarse, or reduced order model, it may therefore be…

Implicit time-stepping for advection is applied locally in space and time where Courant numbers are large, but standard explicit time-stepping is used for the remaining solution which is typically the majority. This adaptively implicit…
