VOF method for liquid metal

aria · September 26, 2011, 15:23

Dear CFD people,
as a part of my master thesis I have to model the following problem in CFX:
in a "closed box" exists two liquid metals with different densities. I have to model the interface of the liquids under a finite body force.
I am using VOF with "free surface" to solve for the interface but I don't get a good answer!
can anybody help me and give some hints how to solve such an easy!! problem??

Thanks
