Second order VOF convection model in curvilinear coordinates

An approximation technique was developed for the simulation of free surface flows in non-orthogonal coordinates. The main idea of this approach is to approximate VOF by the second order linear equation in the transformed domain on the assumption that the continuity of free surface would be maintained. The method was justified through a set of numerical test to examine if its original shape could be maintained when the circles are convected in uniform velocity in horizontal direction in curvilinear coordinates. Finally a simple problem was solved by applying the method to CFX4.1 general purpose CFDS code.
