Here we present a novel oriented divergence theorem and apply the results to a swept face remap method (conservative data transfer between two meshes) in arbitrary Langrangian–Eulerian hydrodynamics. In our setting, we compute the material flux along swept regions between corresponding faces in the source and target meshes. Since the swept region may add material, subtract material, or do both when it intersects itself, we cannot apply the conventional divergence theorem without accounting for orientation and self-overlaps. In this work, we encode the swept region orientation and geometry with a map from the unit n -dimensional cube, and then apply an oriented analog of divergence theorem to compute the material flux. We present efficient implementation strategies for the presented method. We also provide numerical evidence supporting our results and discuss extensions to more general mesh topologies.
