Volume of fluid method to track interfaces for flows with phase transition.

Volume of fluid method to track interfaces for flows with phase transition. Samuel Burbulla , Janick Gerstenberger, Dietmar Kroener, Tobias Malkmus, Martin Nolte We consider a fluid flow with phase transition. The mathematical model is based on the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with additional jump conditions along the interface, which separates the fluid and vapor phase. The numerical algorithm is based on a week formulation of the problem. In particular, the interface is tracked by the volume of fluid method, which keeps the interface sharp and which ensures, that the whole algorithm is mass conservative. In this contribution we will present the algorithm and some numerical simulations.
