Abstract
A semi-discrete finite element methodology for the modelling of transient free surface flows in the context of Eulerian interface capturing is proposed. The focus of this study is put on the choice of an appropriate time integration strategy for the accurate modelling of the dynamics of free surfaces and of interfacial physics. It is composed of an adaptive time integration scheme for the Navier–Stokes equations, and of the implicit midpoint rule for the transport equation of the Eulerian marker variable. The adaptive scheme allows the automatic determination of a time-step size that follows the physics of the problem under study, which facilitates the accurate modelling of stiff free surface flows. It is shown that the implicit midpoint rule reduces mass loss for each fluid. Various free surface flow problems are studied to verify and validate the proposed time integration strategy.
