contents A general approach for transforming phase field equations into generalized curvilinear coordinates is proposed in this work. The proposed transformation can be applied to isotropic, non-isotropic, and curvilinear grids without adding any ambiguity in determining the phase field parameters. Moreover, it accurately adapts the interface thickness to the local grid-size for a general curvilinear grid without creating oscillations. Three canonical verification tests are presented on four grids with varying skewness levels. The classic advection and drop in shear tests are extended to curvilinear grids and show that the original phase field on Cartesian grids and the proposed curvilinear form have an identical order of convergence. Additionally, the proposed method is shown to provide grid-independent convergence on a two-way coupled compressible Rayleigh-Taylor instability. These simulations illustrate the robustness and accuracy of the proposed method for handling complex interfacial structures on generalized curvilinear grids.
