interface-capturing technique that tracks free surfaces by advecting the fraction of each grid cell filled with one fluid.

In fluid mechanics, volume of fluid method refers to interface-capturing technique that tracks free surfaces by advecting the fraction of each grid cell filled with one fluid. This meaning comes from Hirt (1981) in Journal of Computational Physics.[1]
