Hi everyone,

In NASA-VOF2D, the Pressure Poisson Equation is given by:
(dt/rho) div(grad(p(n+1))) = div(u_tilde)
Here rho is treated as constant.

In RIPPLE, the Pressure Poisson Equation takes the form of:
div(grad(p(n+1))/rho) = div(u_tilde)/dt
Here the variation of density in the free surface region is considered. So which formulation is correct (or better)? Thanks!
