Title: Incompressible Flows Free Surfaces

Software ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.11578/dc.20180615.2· OSTI ID:1230118 · Code ID:12055

NASA-VOF3D is a three-dimensional, transient, free surface, incompressible fluid dynamics program. It is specifically designed to calculate confined flows in a low gravity environment in which surface physics must be accurately treated. It allows multiple free surfaces with surface tension and wall adhesion and includes a partial cell treatment that allows curved boundaries and internal obstacles. Variable mesh spacing is permitted in all three coordinate directions. Boundary conditions available are rigid free-slip wall, rigid no-slip wall, continuative, periodic, and specified pressure outflow boundary.
