Development of a Hybrid VOF/Level Set Technique to Model Two-Phase Flows Two-Phase Flow: Movement of any mixture of liquid and gas or two liquids Need to determine deformation of interface (shape of drop) VOF Method: fluid filled boxes Level Set Function: Contour map around interface Empty Cell VOF 0 Full Cell VOF 1 Partial Cell VOF 2 1 -1 Combine two methods to use advantages of both for drop simulation The Pennsylvania State University Dept.
