Which one is better - dynamic van der waals theory(DVDWT) or CLSVOF for free surface flow ?

Dear All, I have no idea about DVDWT except that it is a diffuse interface model. I want to know pros and cons of using it over standard free surface models such as CLSVOF ? I was going through a...

How should I treat the convective term at the boundary for high density and viscosity ratio two phase flow?

Dear All, I am facing trouble handling convective flux in a scalar transport equation for two-phase flow along wall boundary. Some wall boundary cells have low density and viscosity while the rest...

Can anyone help with space and time averaged scattered data?

I have a set of data which each time instant varies with x and y location and then also varies over time periodically. I wish to average this dataset over the period. Can someone suggest how to do it?
