A new 3rd-order Vorticity Confinement scheme is presented as an extension of the original VC2 scheme developed by Steinhoff for the resolution of the fluid dynamic equations. The theoretical developments are explained, and the method is tested for a 2D airfoil-vortex interaction case and the simulation of the 7A rotor in hover. The results obtained show that the new scheme combines the accuracy of the underlying 3rd-order scheme and the confinement capability of the original VC2 method.
