Phase separation of incompressible binary fluids with Lattice Boltzmann Methods

چکیده
We introduce new versions of lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM) for incompressible binary mixtures where fluctuations of total density are inhibited. As a test for the improved algorithms we consider the problem of phase separation of two-dimensional binary mixtures quenched from a disordered state into the coexistence region. We find that the stability properties of LBM are greatly improved. The control of density fluctuations and the possibility of running longer simulations allow a more precise evaluation of the growth exponent.

متن کاملLattice Boltzmann Study of Velocity Behaviour in Binary Mixtures Under Shear
We apply lattice Boltzmann methods to study the relaxation of the velocity profile in binary fluids under shear during spinodal decomposition. In simple fluids, when a shear flow is applied on the boundaries of the system, the time required to obtain a triangular profile is inversely proportional to the viscosity and proportional to the square of the size of the system. We find that the same be...

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has recently become an alternative and promising computational fluid dynamics approach for simulating complex fluid flows. Despite its enormous success in many practical applications, the standard LBM is restricted to the lattice uniformity in the physical space. This is the main drawback of the standard LBM for flow problems with complex geometry. Several app...

متن کاملTwo-dimensional finite-difference lattice Boltzmann method for the complete Navier-Stokes equations of binary fluids
– Based on Sirovich’s two-fluid kinetic theory and a dodecagonal discrete velocity model, a two-dimensional 61-velocity finite-difference lattice Boltzmann method for the complete Navier-Stokes equations of binary fluids is formulated. Previous constraints, in most existing lattice Boltzmann methods, on the studied systems, like isothermal and nearly incompressible, are released within the pres...
