Abstract
A new VOF advection algorithm is presented, termed the Stream scheme. The a lgorithm uses a linear piecewise method for free surface reconstruction, co upled to a unique fully multidimensional method of cell boundary flux integ ration. The performance of the new algorithm is compared against other VOF advection algorithms using a variety of standard advection tests. In genera l, the performance of the Stream scheme appeal's superior to existing multi dimensional and dimensionally split advection algorithms. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
