Abstract

We explore an intersection-based remap method between meshes consisting of isoparametric elements. We present algorithms for the case of serendipity isoparametric elements (QUAD8 elements) and piece-wise constant (cell-centered) discrete fields. We demonstrate convergence properties of this remap method with a few numerical experiments.
