Abstract

It is found that the original ghost fluid method (GFM) as put forth by Fedkiw et al. [J. Comp. Phys. 152 (1999) 457] does not work consistently and efficiently using isentropic fix when applied to a strong shock impacting on a material interface. In this work, the causes for such inapplicability of the original GFM are analysed and a modified GFM is proposed and developed for greater robustness and consistency. Numerical tests also show that the modified GFM has the property of reduced conservation error and is less problem-related.
