What is the best book or paper explained in details the Volume of Fluid (VOF)-like methods?

Dear Omar Rafae,

Here i am giving the fluent manual source link. In details formulation they mentioned step by step.

http://www.afs.enea.it/fluent/Public/Fluent-Doc/PDF/chp20.pdf

Book: Computational Flow Modeling for Chemical Reactor Engineering by Vivek V. Ranade

Its important to note that, many authors are modified VOF method, for example dynamic boundary condition and interface reconstruction scheme are incorporated in the VOF formation.

Hope it will useful for you

Thanking you

Dear Omar Rafae Alomar,

I learnt VOF from the following papers/chapters:

(1) Volume of Fluid (VOF) Method for the Dynamics of Free Boundary by Hirt and Nichols (1981)

(2) Volume-Tracking Methods for Interfacial Flow Calculations by M. Rudman (1997)

(3) Time-Dependent Multi-material Flow with Large Fluid Distortion by D. L. Youngs (1982)

(4) A new volume of fluid advection algorithm: The defined donating region scheme by Harvie and Fletcher (2001)

(5) A geometrical area-preserving Volume-of-Fluid advection method by Aulisa et al. (2002)

(6) Second-order accurate volume-of-fluid algorithms for tracking interfaces by Pilliod and Puckett (1997)

(7) A New Volume of Fluid Advection Algorithm: The Stream Scheme by Harvie and Fletcher (2000)

(8) Conservative Volume-of-Fluid method for free-surface simulations on Cartesian-grids by Weymouth and Yue (2010)

(9) Reconstructing Volume Tracking by Rider and Kothe (1999)

and I (dare) list my own article as the tenth entry :)

(10) A redistribution-based volume-preserving PLIC-VOF technique by Saincher and Banerjee (2015)

The following book will also prove to be helpful...

Computational Methods for Multiphase Flow. By A. Prosperetti & G. Tryggvason (I have attached a link to the book's webpage at Cambridge)

Regarding you question about the best reference...I do not think there exists an article/chapter that is self-contained in terms of all the information that is required to implement a VOF-algorithm...the above articles/chapters complement each other in terms of necessary information and thus should be read in conjunction.

Best regards,
