| Abstract | Gas-liquid flows occur in many natural processes and engineered devices, including breaking waves, painting, fuel injection, and fire suppression. Understanding these processes and improving device design require accurate predictions of these flows. A leading numerical method for simulating gas-liquid flows is called the volume-of-fluid (VoF) method. This project will reformulate the VoF method to improve its accuracy and reduce computational costs. The reformulation will also eliminate the need |
