    flows in which the Capillary number is low, errors in the computation of the surface
    tension force at the interface cause Front-Capturing methods such as Volume of
    Fluid (VOF) and Level-Set (LS) to develop interfacial spurious currents. To better
    solve low Capillary number flows, special treatment is required to reduce such
    spurious currents. Smoothing the phase indicator field to more accurately compute
    the curvature or adding interfacial artificial viscosity are techniques that can
    treat this problem. This study explores OpenFOAM, Fluent and StarCCM+ VOF solvers
    for the classical case of a static bubble/droplet immersed in a continuous aqueous
    phase, with the focus on the ability of these solvers to adequately reduce spurious
    currents. The results are expected to be helpful for practicing chemical engineers
    who use multiphase CFD solvers in their work.</jats:p>"
