Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we study a finite element discretization of a Level Set Method formulation of free-surface flow. We consider an Euler semi-implicit discretization in time and a Galerkin discretization of the level set function. We regularize the density and viscosity of the flow across the interface, following the Level Set Method. We prove stability in natural norms when the viscosity and density vary from one to the other layer and optimal error estimates for smooth solutions when the layers have the same density. We present some numerical tests for academic flows.
