Abstract

We show that a phenomenological hydrodynamic lattice-gas model of two-phase flow, developed by Rothman and Keller in 1988 and used extensively for numerical simulations since then, can be derived from an underlying model of particle interactions. From this result, we elucidate the nature of the hydrodynamic limit of the Rothman-Keller model.
