A momentum-conserving, consistent, Volume-of-Fluid method for incompressible flow on staggered grids [PDF]
, 2018 The computation of flows with large density contrasts is notoriously difficult. To alleviate the difficulty we consider a consistent mass and momentum-conserving discretization of the Navier-Stokes equation.
