摘要
In this paper, we present an efficient adaptive mesh method for solving phase-field model of a mixture of two-phase incompressible fluid flows. The adaptive mesh is generated by a coordinate transformation that is determined as the solution of the classical problem of the optimal mass transportation, also known as Monge-Kantorovich problem (MKP). The numerical solution of the MKP is computed by taking the gradient of the steady state solution of a parabolic Monge-Ampere equation (PMAE). Several numerical experiments are conducted to demonstrate the performance of the PMAE method for solving phase field models. The numerical results illustrate that the adaptive mesh computed with PMAE method captures well the moving interface of the phase-field function. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
