abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">This study is aimed to develop a volume of fluid (VOF) method to capture
the free surface flow. The incompressible two-phase flow is computed by second-order
Adams-Bashforth algorithm with a uniform staggered Cartesian grid arrangement.
The tangent of hyperbola for interface capturing (THINC) scheme and weighted linear
interface calculation (WLIC) based geometrical reconstruction procedure have been
implemented in the operator-splitting method for the VOF method. The proposed
VOF method preserves mass well, and the interface normal vector can be easily estimated from the level set (LS) function. The LS function, which is a continuous signed
distance function around the interface, is represented by solving the re-initialization
equation. Numerical results using the present scheme are compared with experimental data and other numerical results in the Rayleigh-Taylor instability, dam-break flow,
travelling solitary wave, Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, rising bubble and merging bubble problems. We also present numerical results in detail between computations made
with the proposed VOF method and computations made with the conventional LS
method.</p>},
