The paper is devoted to two-phase flow simulations and investigates the ability of a diffusive interface Cahn-Hilliard Volume-of-Fluid model to capture the dynamics of the air-sea interface at geophysically relevant Reynolds numbers. It…

We present a fully-coupled, implicit-in-time framework for solving a thermodynamically-consistent Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes system that models two-phase flows. In this work, we extend the block iterative method presented in Khanwale et…

We show well-posedness of a diffuse interface model for a two-phase flow of two viscous incompressible fluids with different densities locally in time. The model leads to an inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes/Cahn-Hilliard system with a solenoidal…

Central finite difference schemes have long been avoided in the context of two-phase flows for the advection of the phase indicator function due to numerical overshoots and undershoots associated with their dispersion errors. We will show…
