Abstract
We present a new discretization approach to advection-diffusion problems with Robin boundary conditions on complex, time-dependent domains. The method is based on second order cut cell finite volume methods introduced by Bochkov et al. [8] to discretize the Laplace operator and Robin boundary condition. To overcome the small cell problem, we use a splitting scheme along with a semi-Lagrangian method to treat advection. We demonstrate second order accuracy in the L (1), L (2), and L (∞) norms for both analytic test problems and numerical convergence studies. We also demonstrate the ability of the scheme to convert one chemical species to another across a moving boundary.
