A new interface reconstruction method for Volume of Fluid (VOF) interface tracking is presented here, based on subgrid-scale planar interface segment reconstruction (SGS-PISR). In the SGS-PISR method implemented here, the centroid of the initial single-surface interface reconstruction is shifted along that normal to enclose the correct volume. An additional step then moves the SGS plane segments laterally outwards, to ameliorate the SGS curvature by blunting the protrusion of the centroid. The SGS-PISR method results in promising tendency towards second-order accuracy and more importantly reduced interface reconstruction errors across a range of mesh resolutions, and is targeted at improving VOF performance in resolving small grid-scale details of the interface topologies in interfacial flow CFD computations.
