This article outlines the development and application of an interface-tracking algorithm for computation of free-surface flows using the finite-volume method and moving grids. The kinematic boundary condition and the space conservation law are used to determine the position and shape of the free-surface interface. Several test cases are selected to demonstrate the method's accuracy and applicability for calculation of two- and three-dimensional free-surface flows. The approach can easily be implemented in any existing finite-volume method using either structured or unstructured grids.
