Title: Improved hybrid Allen-Cahn phase-field-based lattice Boltzmann method for incompressible two-phase flows. Author: Liu X, Chai Z, Shi B. Journal: Phys Rev E; 2023 Mar; 107(3-2):035308. PubMed ID: 37073063. Abstract: In this work we develop an improved phase-field based lattice Boltzmann (LB) method where a hybrid Allen-Cahn equation (ACE) with a flexible weight instead of a global weight is used to suppress the numerical dispersion and eliminate the coarsening phenomenon. Then two LB models are adopted to solve the hybrid ACE and the Navier-Stokes equations, respectively. Through the Chapman-Enskog analysis, the present LB model can correctly recover the hybrid ACE, and the macroscopic order parameter used to label different phases can be calculated explicitly. Finally, the present LB method is validated by five tests, including the diagonal translation of a circular interface, two stationary bubbles with different radii, a bubble rising under the gravity, the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in two-dimensional and three-dimensional cases, and the three-dimensional Plateau-Rayleigh instability. The numerical results show that the present LB method has a superior performance in reducing the numerical dispersion and the coarsening phenomenon.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
