An Energy Stable Nonlinear Incompressible Multi-Phase Flow Formulation

Abstract

We show that a reformulation of the governing equations for incompressible multi-phase flow in the volume of fluid setting leads to a well defined energy rate. Weak nonlinear inflow-outflow and solid wall boundary conditions complement the development and lead to an energy estimate in terms of external data. The new formulation combined with summation-by-parts operators lead to provably nonlinear energy stability.
