Abstract
In this paper, we present a formulation of the slice balance approach using a nonlinear closure relation derived analogously from the adaptive-weighted diamond-difference form of the weighted diamond-difference method for Cartesian grids. The method yields strictly positive solutions that reduce to a standard diamond closure with fine-enough mesh granularity. It can be efficiently solved using Newton-like nonlinear iterative methods with diffusion preconditioning.
