Összefoglaló	The Level Set Method is an implicit interface tracking technique introduced by Osher and Sethian in 1988 for moving boundary problems and multiphase flows. Rather than explicitly tracking the interface, level sets represent it as the zero level set (contour) of a signed distance function φ. This approach elegantly handles topological changes, naturally computes interface curvature and normals, and integrates well with Eulerian solvers. Level sets have become essential for image processing, shape optimization, and interface-dominated fluid dynamics problems.	The Eulerian-Lagrangian Model (ELM) is a framework for simulating multiphase flows by treating the continuous phase (liquid or gas) using Eulerian descriptions (fixed grid) and discrete dispersed phases (particles, droplets, bubbles) using Lagrangian tracking. Developed by Crowe and collaborators in 1977, this approach exploits the strengths of both perspectives: Eulerian methods for the bulk continuous phase and Lagrangian methods for individual dispersed elements. ELM is widely used in industrial applications including spray combustion, pneumatic conveying, and particle-laden flows.
