One of the chief disadvantages associated with the use of an Eulerian mesh is the difficulty in accurately constructing material interfaces as materials move through the mesh. The Simple Line Interface Calculation (SLIC) algorithm developed by Noh and Woodward at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has been used successfully, but it has certain problems. The SLIC algorithm is accurate only when an interface is parallel or perpendicular to the direction of the flow, and it will modify interfaces that are not oriented perpendicular or parallel to the flow. The Modified SLIC (MSLIC) algorithm presented in this paper greatly improves the accuracy of the SLIC algorithm while retaining much of the simplicity of the original algorithm. MSLIC is available for two and three dimensional calculations. 6 refs., 10 figs.
