contents Optimal-order convergence in the $H^1$ norm is proved for an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian interface tracking finite element method for the sharp interface model of two-phase Navier-Stokes flow without surface tension, using high-order curved evolving mesh. In this method, the interfacial mesh points move with the fluid's velocity to track the sharp interface between two phases of the fluid, and the interior mesh points move according to a harmonic extension of the interface velocity. The error of the semidiscrete arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian interface tracking finite element method is shown to be $O(h^k)$ in the $L^\infty(0, T; H^1(Ω))$ norm for the Taylor-Hood finite elements of degree $k \ge 2$. This high-order convergence is achieved by utilizing the piecewise smoothness of the solution on each subdomain occupied by one phase of the fluid, relying on a low global regularity on the entire moving domain. Numerical experiments illustrate and complement the theoretical results.
