The Moment-of-Fluid(MoF)methodis an extension ofpopular Volume-ofFluid(VoF)techniquefor trackingmaterialinterfaceinmulti-materialfluidflows. VoFmethods trackthe cell-wise material volumes anduse these data for reconstructingtheinterfacesinmixedcell. TheMoFmethodgoes one stepfurther and, in additional to the volumes,keeps trackofthe cell-wise material centroids;this approachprovides sufficiently...

Abstract A newly developed frosting simulation method, p-VOF is applied to simulate the dynamic frost formation on NACA0012 airfoil under strong convection. The method a pseudo VOF of multiphase flow with phase change. By solving simplified mass conservation equation explicitly instead original volume fraction equations in CFD software, efficiency and robustness calculation are greatly improved...

Volume of fluid (VOF) methods are extensively used to track interfaces in numerical simulations, and many VOF algorithms require that the interface be reconstructed geometrically. For this purpose, Piecewise Linear Interface Construction (PLIC) technique is most frequently used, which for reasons geometric complexity can slow difficult implement. Here, we propose an alternative neural network b...
