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.","lang":"eng"}],"author":[{"last_name":"Inguva","full_name":"Inguva, Venkatesh","first_name":"Venkatesh"},{"last_name":"Schulz","full_name":"Schulz, Andreas","first_name":"Andreas"},{"first_name":"Eugeny Y.","last_name":"Kenig","full_name":"Kenig, Eugeny Y."}],"status":"public","year":"2020","publication":"Chemical Product and Process Modeling","type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2022-01-06T06:56:07Z","doi":"10.1515/cppm-2020-0052","publication_status":"published","language":[{"iso":"eng"}]}
