heal.abstract	The volume of fluid (VOF) method is used to perform two-phase simulations (gas-liquid). The governing Navier-Stokes conservation equations of the flow field are numerically solved on two-dimensional axisymmetric or three-dimensional unstructured grids, using Cartesian velocity components, following the finite volume approximation and a pressure correction method. A new method of adaptive grid local refinement is developed in order to enhance the accuracy of the predictions, to capture the sharp gas-liquid interface and to speed up the calculations. Results are compared with experimental measurements in order to assess the efficiency of the method. Copyright (C) 2004 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.	en
