Thus it is necessary to calculate the surfactant concentration and surface tension at the interface. For that, I need to add the transportation equation of insoluble surfactant to interFoam. The equations are described as follow: $\frac{\partial f}{\partial t}+\mathbf{u}\cdot \bigtriangledown f-\mathbf{n}\cdot \bigtriangledown \mathbf{u}\cdot \mathbf{n}f=D_{f}[\bigtriangledown ^{2}f-\mathbf{n}\cdot \bigtriangledown \bigtriangledown \cdot \mathbf{n}f+k(\mathbf{n\cdot \bigtriangledown f})]$ $\gamma (f)=\gamma _{0}[1+\beta ln(1-\frac{f}{f_{\oe }})]$ where f is the surfactant concentration, Df is the surfactant diffusion coefficient, k is the curvature at the interface and n is the unit interface normal vector. So any idea of how to do that ? Thanks in advance, Hsin
