A front-tracking method for the computations of multiphase flow

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.

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.

Nonlinear dynamics and breakup of free-surface flows

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theoretical development of this field alongside recent experimental work, and outline unsolved problems, as well as a host of technological applications, ranging from printing to mixing and fiber spinning.

Physics of liquid jets

TL;DR: A review of the fundamental and technological aspects of these subjects can be found in this article, where the focus is mainly on surface tension effects, which result from the cohesive properties of liquids Paradoxically, cohesive forces promote the breakup of jets, widely encountered in nature, technology and basic science.

A continuum method for modeling surface tension

TL;DR: 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.
