A conservative coupling of level-set, volume-of-fluid and other conserved quantities

Paper in proceeding, 2014

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014. A conservative level-set volume-of-fluid synchronization strategy including coupling to other conserved quantities such as mass or momentum is presented. The scheme avoids mass loss/gain of fluidic structures in zero Mach number two-phase flowwhile keeping the interface between the two fluid phases sharp. Local level-set correction and a consistent discretization error control using information from the energy equation based divergence constraint allow for application of the presented method to both constant and variable density zeroMach number two-phase flow with or without interfacial mass transport.
