Hi, Dr Tan Hua,

I am Yadong. We met earlier in the Gerris-basilisk meeting at Princeton University. I am wondering if there will be a paper about this PR to describe the VOF algorithm later?

Hi Yadong, The vof method I'm planning to implement in AMReX/incflo is going to be same as the method in Gerris/Basilisk. Popinet's 2009 JCP paper details the algorithm. I hope to get most work done by the end of this year. Stay tune. Best, Hua

Got it! That will be really nice. During my Ph.D., I also carefully read Popinet's 2003 and 2009 JCP paper. Yet our group used the CLSVOF, that is why I did not choose the direction to implement the pure VOF method at that time.

The incflo uses the nonsucycling method and the IAMR uses the subcycling method. One thought is if you can make the VOF a standalone feature while combining it with incflow advance functions, maybe I can also learn to combine this feature with IAMR later when it is ready. I am very interested in investigating how the algorithms work in the AMR framework.

Thank you for your advice, Yadong! Yes, I desire to develop the VOF capability as an add-on class, so the developers of other AMReX platform based software can easily add it to their codes.
