Accurately simulating anisotropic thermal conduction on a moving mesh

We present a novel implementation of an extremum preserving anisotropic diffusion solver for thermal conduction on the unstructured moving Voronoi mesh of the Arepo code. The method relies on splitting the one-sided facet fluxes into normal and oblique components, with the oblique fluxes being limit...
