TLDR
In this paper, a force density proportional to the surface curvature of constant color is defined at each point in the transition region; this force-density is normalized in such a way that the conventional description of surface tension on an interface is recovered when the ratio of local transition-reion thickness to local curvature radius approaches zero.About:

A domain decomposition approach to compute wave breaking (wave‐breaking flows)
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-fluid viscous flow model is used in the free surface region to capture the air-water interface (via a level-set technique), while a potential flow approximation is adopted to describe the flow far from the interface.

A mass conserving level set method for detailed numerical simulation of liquid atomization
TL;DR: An improved mass conserving level set method for detailed numerical simulations of liquid atomization is developed, which introduces a mass remedy procedure based on the local curvature at the interface that can ensure the absolute mass conservation of the liquid phase in the computational domain.

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of a fractional volume of fluid (VOF) has been used to approximate free boundaries in finite-difference numerical simulations, which is shown to be more flexible and efficient than other methods for treating complicated free boundary configurations.
