- "Abstract\r\n In two-phase 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.@eng"
