Review text

A method to treat a sharp discontinuity by the density function is proposed. The surface of the density function is described by one grid throughout the calculation even when the surface is largely distorted. This description is made possible by the cubic-interpolated propagation method combined with variable transformations. This scheme can be used for detecting sharp boundary of compressible fluid as well as incompressible fluid. This scheme is applied to the injection of heavier fluid into lighter fluid. The interaction of a shock wave with a liquid drop is an also interesting but quite difficult test problem.
