A second-order boundary condition capturing method is presented for the elliptic interface problem with jump conditions in the solution and its normal derivative. The proposed method is an extension of the work in Liu et al. (J Comput Phys 160(1):151-178, 2000) to a higher order. The motivation of proposed method is that the approximated value at the interface can be reconstructed by proper interpolation based on the level set representation from Gibou et al. (J Comput Phys 176(1):205-227, 2002). A second-order accurate method is constructed, both in the solution and its gradient, using second-order finite difference approximation. Several numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method is indeed second-order accurate in the solution and its gradient in the L 2 and L ∞ norms.
In this paper, we present a second-order accurate finite-difference method for solving convectiondiffusion equations with interfacial jumps on a moving interface. The proposed method is constructed under a semi-Lagrangian framework for convection-diffusion equations; a novel interpolation scheme is developed in the presence of jump conditions. Combined with a second-order ghost fluid method [3], a sharp capturing method with a first-order local truncation error near the interface and second-order truncation error away from the interface is developed for the convectiondiffusion equation. In addition, a level-set advection algorithm is presented when the velocity gradient jumps across the interface. Numerical experiments support the conclusion that the proposed methods for convection-diffusion equations and level-set advection are necessary for the second-order convergence solution and the interface position.
