Maxis - A rezoning and remapping code in two dimensional cylindrical geometry

This paper presents the new version of our code Maxis (Lin et al., 2011). Maxis is a local rezoning and remapping code in two dimensional cylindrical geometry, which can be employed to address the grid distortion problem of unstructured meshes. The new version of Maxis is mostly programmed in the C language which considerably improves its computational efficiency with respect to the former Matlab version. A new algorithm for determining the intersection of two arbitrary convex polygons is also incorporated into the new version. Some additional linking functions are further provided in the new version for the purpose of combining Maxis and MULTI2D. The previous version of this program (AEIP_v1_0) may be found at http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cpc.2010.11.034.
