<strong>The</strong> <strong>Level</strong> <strong>Set</strong> <strong>Method</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> two-phase two phase mixture is as a single fluid<br />

Density, viscosity are smoothed across the interface<br />

<strong>The</strong> LS marker function is continuous<br />

and it is set <strong>to</strong> the signed minimum<br />

distance <strong>to</strong> the interface<br />

Reasons for using the LS function:<br />

Minimal numerical diffusion since the function is continuous across across<br />

the interface, with<br />

∇φ = 1<br />

Easy <strong>to</strong> interpolate phase properties across the interface in the<br />

two-fluids two fluids formulation<br />
