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? 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.

Thanks,

However further down the track we will also be doing rock mechanics on the same mesh, using finite elements. For that, tensor product basis would be fine.

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their experiments lead.
