double rho1 = 1., mu1 = 0., rho2 = 1., mu2 = 0.;

Auxilliary fields are necessary to define the (variable) specific volume \alpha=1/\rho as well as the cell-centered density.

face vector alphav[];
scalar rhov[];

event defaults (i = 0)
{
  alpha = alphav;
  rho = rhov;

If the viscosity is non-zero, we need to allocate the face-centered viscosity field.

  if (mu1 || mu2)
    mu = new face vector;

We add the interface to the default display.

  display ("draw_vof (c = 'f');");
}

The density and viscosity are defined using arithmetic averages by default. The user can overload these definitions to use other types of averages (i.e. harmonic).

#ifndef rho
# define rho(f) (clamp(f,0.,1.)*(rho1 - rho2) + rho2)
#endif
#ifndef mu
# define mu(f)  (clamp(f,0.,1.)*(mu1 - mu2) + mu2)
#endif

We have the option of using some “smearing” of the density/viscosity jump.

#ifdef FILTERED
scalar sf[];
#else
# define sf f
#endif

event tracer_advection (i++)
{

When using smearing of the density jump, we initialise sf with the vertex-average of f.

#ifndef sf
#if dimension <= 2
  foreach()
    sf[] = (4.*f[] + 
	    2.*(f[0,1] + f[0,-1] + f[1,0] + f[-1,0]) +
	    f[-1,-1] + f[1,-1] + f[1,1] + f[-1,1])/16.;
#else // dimension == 3
  foreach()
    sf[] = (8.*f[] +
	    4.*(f[-1] + f[1] + f[0,1] + f[0,-1] + f[0,0,1] + f[0,0,-1]) +
	    2.*(f[-1,1] + f[-1,0,1] + f[-1,0,-1] + f[-1,-1] + 
		f[0,1,1] + f[0,1,-1] + f[0,-1,1] + f[0,-1,-1] +
		f[1,1] + f[1,0,1] + f[1,-1] + f[1,0,-1]) +
	    f[1,-1,1] + f[-1,1,1] + f[-1,1,-1] + f[1,1,1] +
	    f[1,1,-1] + f[-1,-1,-1] + f[1,-1,-1] + f[-1,-1,1])/64.;
#endif
#endif // !sf

#if TREE
  sf.prolongation = refine_bilinear;
  sf.dirty = true; // boundary conditions need to be updated
#endif
