The paper concerns modelling of the free surface flow with the volume of fluid (VOF) method. The original contribution of this work is a detailed comparison of two high-resolution schemes, taking into consideration their ability to capture the interface subjected to strong deformation. Verification and validation of the schemes is performed in three test cases: advection of the bubble in a uniform velocity field, convection of the bubble including effects of surface tension and breaking of the water wave in the gravitational field.
