You are right, advection will move the interface properly but rescaling is then required I think to properly update the distance. As it is a hyperbolic advection equation DG seems like a natural choice, but SUPG could also be used… But I was thinking since the level-set scheme is central to a lot of interface tracking stuff (not just X-FEM) direct library support might be worthwhile. Especially since the renormalization is not trivial for a parallel mesh! -Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
