✦ Synopsis

The arbitrary Lagrange-Euler (ALE) kinematic description has been implemented in a 3D transient finite element program to simulate multiple fluid flows with fluid -fluid interface or surface displacements. The description of fluid interfaces includes variable interfacial tension, and the formulation is useful in the simulation of low and intermediate Reynolds number viscous flow. The displacement of two immiscible Newtonian fluids in a vertical (concentric and eccentric) annulus and a (vertical and inclined) tube is simulated.
