Remapping is a conservative interpolation of a discretized intensive quantity between two meshes. In this article, we propose a novel multi-material flux remapping method that avoids the geometric computation of mesh-mesh intersections needed for an accurate intersection based remap. The flux remap is applicable to scalar quantities such as material density describing the multi-material flow between meshes with the same connectivity but small mesh displacements. Herein, the method is described for two- and three-dimensional polygonal/polyhedral meshes as it is implemented in Portage. Another open source library, Tangram, is used to calculate material interfaces in cells containing more than one material. Performance and accuracy of the flux remap are discussed with respect to Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian simulations and compared to an accurate intersection based remap. In particular, cyclic remapping shows that the accuracy of the flux remap is limited to first order on material boundaries while maintaining second order accuracy in pure material regions.
