Mean-Field Free-Energy Lattice Boltzmann Method for Liquid-Vapor Interfacial Flows
This dissertation includes a theoretical and numerical development to simulate liquid-vapor flows and the applications to microchannels. First, we obtain a consistent non-local pressure equation for simulating liquid-vapor interfacial flows using mean-field free-energy theory. This new pressure eq...
