Level set methods applied to modeling detonation shock dynamics (Q1924703)

We give an extension of the level set formulation of \textit{S.Osher} and \textit{J. A. Sethian} [ibid. 79, No. 1, 12-49 (1988; Zbl 0659.65132)] which describes the dynamics of surfaces that propagate under the influence of their own curvature. We consider an extension of their original algorithms for finite domains that includes boundary conditions. We discuss this extension in the context of a specific application that comes from the theory of detonation shock dynamics.
