A mass‐conserving Level‐Set method for modelling of multi‐phase flows (2005, methodology): “The proposed numerical method is based on the same approach as the Coupled Level-Set Volume-of-Fluid (CLSVOF) [1, 2] method in the sense that the Level-Set method is combined with a VOF method in order to conserve mass.”
Sharp interface tracking using the phase-field equation (2007, methodology): “Further improvements are possible by combining the present phase-field approach with particle or VOF methods, as has been done for the level-set method [13,47,49].”
A hybrid particle level set method for improved interface capturing (2002, methodology): “Sussman and Puckett [37] combined the VOF and level set methods in order to alleviate some of the geometrical problems of the VOF method.”
A conservative phase field method for solving incompressible two-phase flows (2011, methodology): “The CLSVOF (coupled level set and volume-of-fluid) method [7], THINC (tangent of hyperbola for interface capturing) method [8,9], VOSET (volume-of-fluid and level set) method [10], and conservative level set method [11] have been proposed to resolve the problems arisen from the VOF or/and level set ”
Influence of surface tension implementation in Volume of Fluid and coupled Volume of Fluid with Level Set methods for bubble growth and detachment (2013, methodology): “Although most coupling models solve both the LS and the VOF advection equations (Sussman and Puckett, 2000; Son and Hur, 2002), Sun and Tao (2010) have proposed a coupled method which relies on the solution of the VOF advection equation with geometrical reconstruction of the LS function from the VOF”
Evaluation of level set and phase field methods in modeling two phase flow with viscosity contrast through dual-permeability porous medium (2013, methodology): “The standard LSM is not volume conservative; so different combinations of the LSM with other conservative schemes have been proposed to solve this problem (e.g. LSM coupled with variable density projection method (Sussman et al., 1999) and VOF method (Sussman and Puckett, 2000)).”
An accurate conservative level set/ghost fluid method for simulating turbulent atomization (2008, methodology): “[6] proposed to couple a level set method with the VOF technique (CLSVOF), hence benefiting from both the good mass conservation property of the VOF approach and the smooth interface description of the level set method.”
Modeling three-dimensional multiphase flow using a level contour reconstruction method for front tracking without connectivity (2002, background): “18 of [26], except for the initial bubble offset) and for Fig.”
A topology optimization method based on the level set method incorporating a fictitious interface energy (2010, methodology): “Key words: Topology Optimization, Finite Element Method, Level Set Method, Phase Field Method, Tikhonov Regularization Method”
An interface-capturing method for incompressible two-phase flows. Validation and application to bubble dynamics (2007, methodology): “Other possibilities may consist in coupling the Level Set approach with a conservative method ( Sussman and Puckett, 2000; Enright et al., 2002).”
