In Problem 2, we assume that the two immiscible and incompressible phases share the same viscosity value but have different densities.
As is shown in Figure 12, there are viscous incompressible fluids between two infinite-length concentric cylinders.
In this section, we will present the numerical methods for the fractional model of two-phase incompressible flow.
Let [u.sup.0] be the smooth solution, defined on [0, [T.sub.*]), to the incompressible Euler equations (1.4) with initial data [u.sup.0.sub.0].
The physical parameters are E = [10.sup.5] and v = 0.4999, hence the problem is nearly incompressible. In Figure 5.1(b) we plot the mesh of the bent domain.
