Abstract

In this article, we present a unified approach to identify an interface and model the associated interface conditions. Interface includes but is not limited to (1) fluid-fluid interface, (2) fluid-solid interface and (3) physical boundaries and/or internal interfaces. We identify an interface using the distance function. The continuum surface force model is used to model surface tension forces at fluid-fluid interfaces. This model is then extended to model surface conditions at fluid-solid interfaces and physical boundaries. Capabilities of the current approach are demonstrated using a few test cases. Comparisons with available solutions show that the current approach produces accurate solutions.
