A local remapping algorithm for scalar function on quadrilateral meshes is described. The remapper from a distorted grid to a rezoned grid is usually regarded as a conservative interpolation problem. The present paper introduces a pseudo time to transform the interpolation into an initial value problem on a moving grid, and construct a moving mesh method to solve it. The new feature of the algorithm is the introduction of multi-point information on each edge, which leads to the numerical flux consistent with grid node motion. During the procedure of deriving scheme, we illustrate a framework about how the algorithms on a rectangular mesh are easily generated to those on a moving mesh. The basic ideas include: (i) introducing coordinate transformation, which maps the irregular domain in physical space to a perfectly regular computational domain, and (ii) deriving finite volume methods in the physical domain, which can be viewed as a discretization of the transformed equation. The resulting scheme is second-order accurate, conservative and monotonicity preserving. Numerical examples are carried out to show the good performance of our schemes.
