The problem of simulating multi-phase flow occurs in a wide range of scientific and industrial applications of computational fluid dynamics, including inertial confinement fusion. One of the key issues in these simulations is tracking the location and geometry of the interface which separates the various fluids. The interface may undergo deformation, break-up, and coalescence, making this a non-trivial task.
In this talk I will describe the most popular approaches to interface tracking in fixed-grid computations, which are known as the Front Tracking, Level Set, and Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) methods. Each method has unique advantages and disadvantages, and they remain active areas of research. There will be a particular focus on recent developments to the VOF method, and I will describe my on-going work to improve the accuracy of this method by introducing extra information about the interface geometry into the algorithm.
