Abstract
A numerical scheme for the prediction of free surface flows is present ed and investigated. The method is based on an adaptive grid Eulerian finite-volume method, where non-orthogonal boundary-fitted moving grid s are employed to follow the free surface. The underlying flow solver consists in a pressure-correction scheme of SIMPLE type with multigrid acceleration, which is iteratively combined with the moving grid tech nique. Several numerical examples are considered to illustrate the cap abilities of the approach.
