Multiphase Codes - SOLA VOF for interface tracking

In one way or other, researchers in the multiphase area, especially those seeking to identify and capture distinct interface between liquid / liquid or liquid -gas, have come across the SOLA VOF code.


A publication on the computational method for free surface hydrodynamics (SOLA VOF method) can be found here.

In particular, one of the guests posts the link to the download of the report containing the SOLA VOF code -in an as-is basis. The LANL server hosts the file (link below)
