THINC-scaling scheme that unifies VOF and level set methods
share
We present a novel interface-capturing scheme, THINC-scaling, to unify the VOF (volume of fluid) and the level set methods, which have been developed as two completely different approaches widely used in various applications. The THINC-scaling scheme preserves at the samectime the advantages of both VOF and level set methods, i.e. the mass/volume conservation of the VOF method and the geometrical faithfulness of the level set method. THINC-scaling scheme allows to represent interface with high-order polynomials, and has algorithmic simplicity which eases its implementation in unstructured grids.
