Describe processes represented by the model	The code models the evolution of a diffusive interface and the instabilities that arises when a less viscous fluid pushes a more viscous one in a confined rectangular geometry.
Describe key physical parameters and equations	Incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled to a convective-diffusive equation to describe the concentration field of the particles.
Describe length scale and resolution constraints	In its current state, the code is restricted to low Reynolds number and Peclet number of order 1000.
