The conventional Allen-Cahn type multi-phase field method was modified to conserve not only the sum of the masses of all phases but also the mass of each phase. The interface advection calculations within a two-dimensional rotational velocity field were performed as a verification problem, and the conservation was successfully achieved. The proposed method was used to calculate the horizontally aligned pair of bubbles rising, and it was found that the bouncing phenomenon between bubbles can be calculated at 1/50 resolution of the high-resolution calculation by Zhang et al. using the volume of fluid method.

The phase-field method has been successfully applied to various multi-phase flow problems as an interface tracking method for gas-liquid interfaces. However, the accuracy of the phase-field method depends on hyper-parameters, which are empirically adjusted for each problem. The phase-field method sustains sharp interfaces by the balance between the numerical viscosity of the advection term and the interface modification by the diffusion and anti-diffusion terms. Based on this fact, we propose a method for deriving the optimal hyper-parameters in a non-empirical manner by performing a basic error analysis of the interface advection.

We have been developing a multi-phase multi-component thermal-hydraulic simulation code JUPITER to analyze the migration behavior of molten materials in nuclear reactors under severe accident conditions. In order to improve the interface tracking method of the JUPITER code, the applicability of the phase-field method is studied. In this study, we apply the phase-field method to the JUPITER code and compare it with the theoretical solution of the droplet oscillation phenomenon to investigate the sensitivity of the method against hyper parameters or phase field parameters.
