description This paper introduces a proficient re-initialization method for the Level-Set (LS) field with the Finite Element Method (FEM) framework on unstructured meshes. The technique can retain the LS field's signed distance (SD) property but exploits the Eulerian-Lagrange multiplier technique. The scheme is based on geometric re-initialization and integrated with the FEM to higher-degree polynomials on complex domains. Numerical benchmark tests indicate the effectiveness and efficiency of the presented method, which also victoriously preserves the LS field's mass effectively, demonstrating its high performance. • Enriched LS method simulations using efficient re-initialization with the FEM in complex domains. • Based on geometry, the re-initialization scheme efficiently preserves the LS mass and applies to the higher-degree polynomials of the complex domains. • The efficiency and effectiveness of the method revealed by the benchmark trials.
