Hello everybody,

I'm interested in knowing when the gravity plays a role in a VOF simulation. Is there some rule of thumb related to this?

I know that when buoyancy effects are foreseen due to different temperatures that lead to different densities the gravity plays an important role.

However, if we simulate the filling of a tank, the gravity plays a role even though there is no buoyancy effect here.

Thanks a lot!
