The size-dependent liquid-vapor surface tension controls phase change, wetting, and transport at nanoscales, yet its first curvature correction, the Tolman length, remains difficult to determine. We develop a thermodynamic and…

We present a systematic study of capillary filling for a binary fluid by using mesoscopic a lattice Boltzmann model describing a diffusive interface moving at a given contact angle with respect to the walls. We compare the numerical results…

The displacement of a more viscous fluid by a less viscous immiscible fluid in confined geometries is a fundamental problem in multiphase flows. Recent experiments have shown that such fluid-fluid displacement in micro-capillary tubes can…

We consider variational (density functional) models of fluids confined in parallel-plate geometries (with walls situated in the planes z=0 and z=L respectively) and focus on the structure of the pair correlation function G(r_1,r_2). We show…
