β¦ Synopsis
An effective algorithm for analysis of nonisothermal capillary interfaces has been developed. The algorithm is based on a coordinate transformation method. The unknown physical domain is mapped onto a rectangular computational domain, with the explicit form of the mapping function not being known. The field variables and the mapping function are determined simultaneously using Picard-type iteration. The algorithm is based on the second-order finite difference discretization and delivers the second-order accuracy, even for very large interfacial distortions. (c) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.

A numerical model has been developed for the 2D simulation of free surface flows or, more generally speaking, moving interface ones. The bulk fluids on both sides of the interface are taken into account in simulating the incompressible laminar flow state. In the case of heat transfer the whole syste
