  • Title: Multiphase flows of N immiscible incompressible fluids: Conservative Allen-Cahn equation and lattice Boltzmann equation method.
    Author: Zheng L, Zheng S, Zhai Q.
    Journal: Phys Rev E; 2020 Jan; 101(1-1):013305. PubMed ID: 32069624.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, we develop a conservative phase-field method for interface-capturing among N (N≥2) immiscible fluids, the evolution of the fluid-fluid interface is captured by conservative Allen-Cahn equation (CACE), and the interface force of N immiscible fluids is incorporated to Navier-Stokes equation (NSE) by chemical potential form. Accordingly, we propose a lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) method for solving N (N≥2) immiscible incompressible NSE and CACE at high density and viscosity contrasts. Numerical simulations including stationary droplets, Rayleigh-Taylor instability, spreading of liquid lenses, and spinodal decompositions are carried out to show the accuracy and capability of present LBE, and the results show that the predictions by use of the present LBE agree well with the analytical solutions and/or other numerical results.
