Abstract
SUMMARY A new method is presented for the simulation of two-dimensional, incompressible, free surface fluid flow problems. The surface marker and micro cell (SMMC) method is capable of simulating transient free surface fluid flow problems that include multivalued free surfaces, impact of free surfaces with solid obstacles and converging fluid fronts (including wave breaking). New approaches are presented for the advection of the free surface, the calculation of the tentative velocity, final velocity and pressure fields and the use of multivalued velocities to treat converging fluid fronts. Simulation results are compared with experimental results for water sloshing in a tank to demonstrate the validity of the new method. Convergence of the new method is demonstrated by a grid refinement study. # 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
