<div>What kind of basis are you expecting? A
tensor product?</div>

<br>
At present we don't even need basis functions, because
we're just doing flow simulation and it's all finite
volume.<br>

<div>Okay good. Now for cell geometry. What kind of
deformation do you allow in the wedge? <br>

<br>
As in Fabian's application, these elements arise from meshes which
have a simple layered structure in the vertical, but are
unstructured in the horizontal (can be mixtures of quads and
triangles in our case- in fact the triangles usually only occur
where there is local refinement).<br>
<br>
So for us these wedges are just horizontal triangles projected
downwards in the vertical- not really deformed at all.<br>

<div>to know? For FV, we are providing the centroid and volume. If
that is enough, we could be done quickly.</div>

<br>
Yes, just centroid and volume would be enough.<br>
