  We propose a novel class of Edge-Based Interface-Tracking (EBIT) methods in
the field of multiphase flows for advecting the interface. The position of the
interface is tracked by marker points located on the edges of the underlying
grid, making the method flexible with respect to the choice of spatial
discretization and suitable for parallel computation. In this paper we present
a simple EBIT method based on two-dimensional Cartesian grids and on a linear
interface representation.
