Default VOF transfer - multiphase flow

Dear Friends,

I am solving a multiphase flow problem. (study of Interaction between Molten metal and air).

Problem: Molten metal is pushing air when it i getting pumped in with high velocity. The have implemented VOF (VOLUME OF FRACTION ) - PLIC method to track the movement of molten metal.

I need to transfer the VOF value depending upon the velocity at which the molten metal pushes. The case happens like if the velocity is very high, I need to ensure that the molten metal is geting transfered in the direction of flow.

I am facing a logical problem in distributing the VOF of molten metal in all the three directions (I am solving a3D Problem).

N:B) I had referred Donor acceptor method , but it will consume lot of Computational efforts.

If possible, Suggest me some logical method to distribute the VOF value in 3D.

Thanks & Regards

Karthik
