The aim of this study is to develop CFD codes for two‐phase flows with unidirectional dissolution from a dispersed phase into a continuous phase. The MDF method was selected because the front‐capturing method with volume fraction has more flexibility in coping with large curvature, coalescence, and pinch‐off than the front‐tracking type. In the numerical procedure of the MDF, steep shock surfaces are transferred, so that the present method adopts the total variation‐diminishing (TVD) scheme to suppress artificial oscillations.
