Height functions for applying contact angles to 2D VOF simulations (2008, background): “Put together, VOF now appears to be a viable methodology for the accurate representation of surface tension-driven phenomena [2].”
Benchmark numerical simulations of segmented two-phase flows in microchannels using the Volume of Fluid method (2013, methodology): “An easy way to suppress these artefacts is to compute the interface curvature j from a smoothed VOF function ~ a, which is calculated from the VOF function a by smoothing it over a finite region around the fluid interface [6,34].”
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): “The reader is referred to the review by Losasso et al. (2006) for other improvements to the LS methods.”
An accurate adaptive solver for surface-tension-driven interfacial flows (2009, methodology): “For example a recent study by Gerlach et al. (2006) used this test case to assess the relative accuracies of a range of vof and vof/levelset techniques.”
