Direction-aware slope limiter for three-dimensional cubic grids with adaptive mesh refinement

In the context of finite volume methods for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, slope limiters are an effective way to suppress creation of unphysical local extrema and/or oscillations near discontinuities. We investigate properties of these limiters as applied to piecewise linear reconstructions of conservative fluid quantities in three-dimensional simulations. In particular, we are interested in linear reconstructions on Cartesian...
