Modified mixed Lagrangian-Eulerian method based on Numerical

Appendix S1: Assembling the global matrix equation
The process of assembling Equations 7 and 8 into a global matrix equation, and the
corresponding manipulation of the right-hand-side vector, are discussed here. The global
matrix equation can be written by combining Equations 7 and 8 as follows:
HF CFn1  RF  ZF 

In Equation S2d, except for the first, fourth, and last rows, all other terms are zero
because FFi e ,k1 and FFi e ,k 2 of the two adjacent elements, ( k1 and k 2 ), contiguous to
interior node i , cancel each other out in a finite element approach (Istok 1989). Similarly,
BFi e ,k 1 and BFi e ,k 2 are also cancelled out. However, FF21,k 3 and BF22 ,k1 will not be
cancelled out because FF21,k 3 is obtained by applying an FEM for fine-mesh element k 3
in global element (1), and BF22 ,k1 is obtained by applying an ELM for fine-mesh element
k1 in global element (2), as shown in Figure 1. This can be directly illustrated by including
FF21,k 3 and BF22 ,k1 in Equation S3:

Here, it should be noted that because the velocity computation in an FEM is continuous
at the elemental interface between global elements (1) and (2) (Yeh 1981; Park and Aral
2007), and the dispersion coefficient is a function of the velocity, the dispersion coefficient is
continuous. Therefore, Equation S3 holds. Moreover,
VC  x x
on the right side of
2
Equation S3 can be rewritten as
VC  x x
2
   x2 V  x2   C  x2 
(S4)
where V x2  is already known because the flow equation is usually solved in advance.
However, Cx2  is unknown and must be solved. Therefore, a fourth row of the global
matrix HF  and a fourth element ZF  should be modified as follows:
HF j , j1C8n1  HFj, j C2n1  HF j , j1C9n1  RF j  ZFj , j  4
(S5)
where
HF j, j  HF j , j   x2 V x2  ,
j4
(S6a)
ZF j  ZF j  VC  xx  0 ,
j4
(S6b)

It should be noted that ZF  is modified using Equations S3–S6, so that the fourth row
of the load vector becomes zero. So, the load vector modified from ZF  is as follows:
