Lagrangian blocks on Eulerian mesh for shallow-water wave computations

Waves in shallow water are computed by moving blocks of water in the direction of the flow by the Lagrangian method. Mass and momentum in the blocks are re-distributed onto the fixed Eulerian mesh to minimize distortion at each increment of time. This Lagrangian blocks on Eulerian mesh (LBEM) method...
