In this paper, we present recent results in numerical simulation of free-surface flows using the parallel finite element method. In our approach, the governing equations are the Navier-Stokes equations written for two incompressible fluids. We solve these equations over a non-moving mesh. An interface function with two distinct values serves as a marker identifying the location of the free-surface. This function is transported throughout the computational domain with a time-dependent advection equation. The stabilized finite element method is used to discretize the governing equations. The finite element formulations are implemented in parallel using Message Passing Interface libraries. High performance computing tools and optimized techniques are utilized to solve applications on unstructured meshes with more than one billion tetrahedral elements. Numerical examples include the simulation of sloshing in tanker trucks and ships hydrodynamics.
