Free-surface modelling

In computational fluid dynamics, free-surface modelling (FSM) refers to the numerical modelling of a free surface—a freely moving interface between immiscible fluids—in order to be able to track and locate it.

Common methods used in free surface modelling include the level set method and the volume of fluid method.
