Abstract: It uses a Level Set function to track the motion of a fluid interface in an Eulerian framework.In addition,the use of Ghost cells (actually Ghost nodes in the difference framework) can keep the density profile from smearing out,while still preserving the scheme robust 2-nd easy to program with and accuracy TVD scheme in spacial and two step Runge Kutta methods.In contrast, the references[6][7] allow the density profile smearing out.This method significantly improves the resolution at the contact discontinuity.

Key words: interface instability, Level Set method, TVD, TVD/AC, Ghost method
