Abstract

A numerical method for simulating two-phase flows including surface force is presented. The method is based on fractional step method of finite volume formulation and the interface is tracked with PLIC VOF method. In the CSF model, as color function, f, representing the location of interface varies steeply in the interface region, we need to use smoothed function f to get accurate unit normal and the curvature. Peskin kernel is used to get smoothed function f. A spherical drop in static equilibrium and three-dimensional merging of gas bubble are tested, resulting in the validation of this method
