A finite element scheme to compute the dynamics of insoluble surfactant on a deforming free surface is presented. The free surface is tracked by the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) approach, whereas the surfactant concentration transport equation is approximated in a Lagrangian manner. Since bou

✦ Synopsis
A computational procedure is developed to solve problems of viscous incompressible ¯ows under large free surface motions. The arbitrary Lagrangian±Eulerian (ALE) method is used to move the free surface nodes as well as the internal nodes. The coupling of the mesh motion equations and the ¯uid equations is essentially done through the free surface boundary conditions. An elastic model with free surface boundary conditions is used to model the mesh motion. The boundary condition at the free surface is deduced from the fact that no ¯uid particle can cross the free surface. The ¯uid problem is solved using a Galerkin/least-square (GLS) ®nite element formulation.

A numerical prediction method has been proposed to predict non-linear free surface oscillation in an arbitrarily-shaped three-dimensional container. The liquid motions are described with Navier -Stokes equations rather than Laplace equations which are derived by assuming the velocity potential. The
