Abstract:In this study, a solver coupling the level-set and volume-of-fluid methods is developed for interface computation of incompressible two-phase flows on the OpenFOAM platform. It corrects the surface tension, density, and viscosity of the fluids with the level-set function synchronously. To examine the effect of density and viscosity corrections, an intermediate solver that only corrects the surface tension force is also developed. Two test cases, that is, a bubble rising freely in stagnant water and a drop impa… Show more
