A continuum method for modeling surface tension
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:

TL;DR: In this paper, a front-tracking method for multiphase flows is presented, which is based on writing one set of governing equations for the whole computational domain and treating the different phases as one fluid with variable material properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct numerical simulation of free-surface and interfacial flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the formation of droplet clouds or sprays that subsequently burn in combustion chambers, which is caused by interfacial instabilities, such as the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability.
