    Axisymmetric mass conservation

    A standard and a VOF tracer are advected by an axisymmetric flow. The initial interface is a torus which is then advected by the flow illustrated in the figure below. As the torus is flattened against the right-hand-side wall, its cross-sectional surface area decreases but the volume should remain constant.
