Abstract

Solving the Navier–Stokes equations to simulate incompressible two-fluid flows with interfaces, is still a developing scientific field. One of the main challenges, is the reduction of the computational cost which is still significantly higher when compared to single-fluid problems. This is mainly due to the variable coefficients Poisson equation arising from the projection method to impose mass conservation.
