The use of accurate tracking algorithms is strongly recommended for this Eulerian Lagrangian simulation. Tracking errors in inverse bilinear mapping for quadrangles is discussed and a more simple iterative method is recommended. A calculation example of bend flume shows that this iterative method has the same accuracy and computational efficiency with the original method. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.3969/j.issn.1001-5485.2013.06.022
