The OpenMP/OpenACC framework is proposed for solving the three-dimensional two-phase incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The conservative phase-field method is employed for the interface transport equation. To reduce the calculation time, the Poisson equation solver for pressure correction term is applied to GPU computation by using the OpenACC directives and the symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) parallelization is used to accelerate the rest of calculations. To certify the current approach, the milkcrown problem is examined and displayed to have good agreements with the referenced results. It also demonstrates about 5.53x faster for the current two-phase flow problem by utilizing the present framework. Besides, to the authors' best knowledge, there is no published report showing that the numerical methods with OpenACC for this problem.
