Dear Takayuki,

Your intuition is correct – gas cells do undergo collision and streaming. They are however not coupled to interface or fluid cells. They are essentially “passive observers”, only used to compute the zero-pressure boundary condition on the interface, without any mass or momentum transfer.

If you would like to learn more, feel free to ask here or refer to our code in:

/src/dynamics/freeSurfacePostProcessor2D.h

All the best,
