Abstract

A front-tracking method is developed with specific algorithms for handling volume conservation and arbitrary shape interfaces. We propose a marker advection method which takes into account the jump relation in order to deal with the jump of the physical discontinuities at the interface for two-phase flow simulations. A comparison to different interface tracking approaches is carried out on a rising bubble test case in order to show the ability of our conservative front-tracking method to describe interfaces with high accuracy.
