phi-FD, a second order finite difference scheme for geometries defined by a level-set function: the Neumann case

Michel Duprez, Vanessa Lleras, Alexei Lozinski +2

We extend the phi-FD finite-difference scheme, which handles domains described by a level-set function on a Cartesian grid, to Neumann boundary conditions. The condition is relaxed…
