An efficient approach to handle either convex or non-convex arbitrary polytopes is applied to volume truncation and volume conservation enforcement operations involved in volume of fluid (VOF) methods. A comparison between the proposed approach and conventional procedures based on convex decomposition is carried out for different tests, demonstrating that the proposed tools represent a substantial improvement in computational efficiency. A speedup of around one order of magnitude is achieved for the reconstruction of several interfacial shapes. The non-convex tools have been used to implement a highly accurate volume of fluid (VOF) method based on a multidimensional advection scheme with edge-matched flux polyhedra and a piecewise linear interface calculation (PLIC) method. A preliminary analysis of the accuracy, computational efficiency and volume conservation properties of the implemented PLIC-VOF method is carried out.

levels. In joints with simulated acute effusion the effect of position on IAP was dependent upon the volume of fluid in the joint. The results indicate that dynamic pressure levels in the moving knee are related to the movements of the joint. The characteristic and reproducible patterns of pressure may reflect changes in the structural configuration of the joint capsule and surrounding tissues during movement, and are influenced by the amount of fluid in the joint.
