Abstract

Multiphase flows have implications in many areas of engineering. The moment-of-fluid (MOF) method is an interface capturing method using both volume fraction and centroid within a cell for interface reconstruction. A symmetric approach to reconstruct thin structures is presented. Also called filaments, these subcell characteristics involve multi-material reconstruction. In addition, a new optimisation algorithm is presented using a bisection method without any necessary initial condition. Using a Lagrangian approach for dynamic cases, no restrictions are imposed on timestep. The new method is validated using several benchmark cases that have been studied extensively in the literature. A near quadratic order of convergence and high accuracy is achieved while maintaining an acceptable runtime.
