A Lattice Boltzmann Model of Ternary Fluid Mixtures
– A lattice Boltzmann model is introduced which simulates oil–water–surfactant mixtures. The model is based on a Ginzburg-Landau free energy with two scalar order parameters. Diffusive and hydrodynamic transport is included. Results are presented showing how the surfactant diffuses to the oil–water interfaces thus lowering the surface tension and leading to spontaneous emulsification. The rate ...
متن کاملA Lattice Boltzmann Model of Binary Fluid Mixtures
We introduce a lattice Boltzmann model for simulating an immiscible binary fluid mixture. Our collision rules are derived from a macroscopic thermodynamic description of the fluid in a way motivated by the Cahn-Hilliard approach to non-equilibrium dynamics and ensure that a thermodynamically consistent state is reached in equilibrium. The non-equilibrium dynamics is investigated numerically and...
متن کاملLattice Boltzmann model for binary mixtures.
An a priori derivation of the lattice Boltzmann equations for binary mixtures is provided by discretizing the Boltzmann equations that govern the evolution of binary mixtures. The present model leads to a set of two-fluid hydrodynamic equations for the mixture. In existing models, employing the single-relaxation-time approximation, the viscosity and diffusion coefficients are coupled through th...
متن کاملA Ternary Lattice Boltzmann Model for Amphiphilic Fluids
A lattice Boltzmann model for amphiphilic fluid dynamics is presented. It is a ternary model, in that it conserves mass separately for each chemical species present (water, oil, amphiphile), and it maintains an orientational degree of freedom for the amphiphilic species. Moreover, it models fluid interactions at the microscopic level by introducing self-consistent forces between the particles, ...
متن کاملCritical properties and phase separation in lattice Boltzmann fluid mixtures.
Basic equilibrium properties of lattice Boltzmann (LB) fluid mixtures (coexistence curve, surface tension, interfacial profile, correlation length) are calculated to characterize the critical phenomena occurring in these model liquids and to establish a reduced variable description allowing a comparison with real fluid mixtures. We observe mean-field critical exponents and amplitudes so that th...
