In this paper, we propose a lattice Boltzmann (LB) model to solve the coupled Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes equations. Differently from previous efforts, the LB equation for the fluid velocity is decomposed in a space of non-orthogonal…
The lattice Boltzmann algorithm efficiently simulates the Navier Stokes equation of isothermal fluid flow, but ignores thermal fluctuations of the fluid, important in mesoscopic flows. We show how to adapt the algorithm to include noise,…
A dissipation rate, which grows faster than any power of the wave number in Fourier space, may be scaled to lead a hydrodynamic system {\it actually} or {\it potentially} converge to its Galerkin truncation. Actual convergence we name for…
