Ll. Zheng et H. Zhang, An adaptive level set method for moving-boundary problems: Application to droplet spreading and solidification, NUM HEAT B, 37(4), 2000, pp. 437-454
A three-dimensional adaptive level set method has Been developed for deform
able free surface problems with or without solidification. In the new schem
e, a three-dimensional multizone adaptive grid generation (MAGG) scheme is
employed to track the moving boundaries and a level set method is used to c
apture the free surface deformation. The effectiveness and robustness of th
e algorithm are demonstrated by solving the droplet spreading and solidific
ation problem, in which both free surface and solidification interface move
ments are important.
