Second-order accurate finite volume method for \(G\)-equation on polyhedral meshes (Q6104296)

The authors propose a second-order accurate cell-centered finite volume method to numerically solve the \(G\)-equation on polyhedral meshes in three-dimensional space, that is, a general type of the level-set equation including advective, normal, and mean curvature flow motions. A numerical algorithm, for the regularized mean curvature flow equation which can be consistently combined with the previous numerical algorithm for the advective or normal flow equations on polyhedral meshes, is designed. The spatial discretization is performed using a flux-balanced approximation with an orthogonal splitting of displacement vector from a center of the cell to a center of the face. The time discretization is given by a nonlinear Crank-Nicolson method with a deferred correction method which yield a second-order accuracy in space and time similarly to the algorithms for the advective and normal flow equations. Some numerical tests are presented to support the theoretical results. The article is interesting and it merits to read.
