The validity of the Simple Counting Algorithm (SCA) for the volume tracking simulations of a single bubble in stagnant liquid is examined. As a result, it is confirmed that (i) the SCA can keep sharp interface, but (ii) the volume of bubble is increased. An improved SCA is proposed in order to reduce the volume error. Numerical simulations of a single air bubble rising in stagnant water are carried out using a course grid, i.e. only 6 cells to the bubble equivalent diameter. The volume of bubble is conserved well and a sharp interface is kept for as long as 12 seconds.
