</div> I have Fortran implementation, i have not fully tested it but has<br>
the core required formulas. I willtry to clean it and send it to you.<br>

</div>I will take a look at this one.<br>

<br>
</div>Yes there will be a problem, if the element is obtuse which results in<br>
the orthocenter being outside the element. The flux computation step<br>
will be incorrect in that scenario. My other post on fixing non<br>
Delaunay elements is related to this issue.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Then I would at least consider the FVM we have implemented in TS ex11. It</div><div>does not have the sensitive mesh dependence, is 2nd order TVD, and works</div>
<div>in both 2D and 3D. You can see a discussion of the code in my slides from Paris</div><div>on the website.</div><div><br></div><div> Matt</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
