What kind of basis are you expecting? A tensor product?

At present we don't even need basis functions, because we're just doing flow simulation and it's all finite volume.

Okay good. Now for cell geometry. What kind of deformation do you allow in the wedge?

As in Fabian's application, these elements arise from meshes which have a simple layered structure in the vertical, but are unstructured in the horizontal (can be mixtures of quads and triangles in our case- in fact the triangles usually only occur where there is local refinement).

So for us these wedges are just horizontal triangles projected downwards in the vertical- not really deformed at all.

and what do you want
to know? For FV, we are providing the centroid and volume. If that is enough, we could be done quickly.

Yes, just centroid and volume would be enough.
