Abstract In this paper, we describe new techniques for numerically approximating two-phase flows. Specifically, we present new techniques for treating the viscosity and surface tension terms that appear in the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible two-phase flow. Our resulting numerical method has the property that results computed using our two-phase algorithm approach the corresponding "one-phase'' algorithm in the limit of zero gas density/viscosity; i.e. the two-phase results approach the one-phase free-boundary results in the limit that the gas is assumed to become a uniform pressure void. By grid convergence checks and comparison with previous experimental data, we More >
