This paper describes a finite volume contact algorithm with surface smoothing using the Nagata patch interpolation. Nagata interpolation is derived from existing discretisation, using the mesh points positions and their calculated normal vectors. The contact between a deformable and a rigid body is analysed, whereas the rigid body is described with Nagata patch interpolation. Such approach allows a more accurate evaluation of the resulting contact stresses and forces
