AbstractIn this article, we detail the methodology developed to construct arbitrarily high order schemes — linear and WENO — on 3D mixed-element unstructured meshes made up of general convex polyhedral elements. The approach is tailored specifically for the solution of scalar level set equations for application to incompressible two-phase flow problems. The construction of WENO schemes on 3D unstructured meshes is notoriously difficult, as it involves a much higher level of complexity than 2D approaches. This due to the multiplicity of geometrical considerations introduced by the extra dimension, especially on mixed-element meshes. Therefore, we have specifically developed a number of algorithms to handle mixed-element meshes composed of convex polyhedra with convex polygonal faces. The contribution of this work concerns several areas of interest: the formulation of an improved methodology in 3D, the minimisation of computational runtime in the implementation through the maximum use of pre-processing operations, the generation of novel methods to handle complex 3D mixed-element meshes and finally the application of the method to the transport of a scalar level set.

We are interested in the numerical simulation of acoustic perturbations via the linearized Euler equations using triangle unstructured meshes in complex geometries such as the one around a complete aircraft. It is known that the classical schemes using a finite volume formulation with high order extrapolation of the variables can be very disappointing. In this paper, we show that using an upwind residual distribution formulation, it is possible to simulate such problems, even on truly unstructured meshes. The main focus of the paper is on the propagative properties of the scheme.
