Domain growth, wetting, and scaling in porous media
Domain growth, wetting, and scaling in porous media
The lattice Boltzmann (LB) method is used to study the kinetics of domain growth of a binary fluid in a number of geometries modeling two-dimensional porous media. Unlike methods which solve the Cahn-Hilliard equation, the LB method correctly simulates fluid properties, phase segregation, interface dynamics, and wetting. Our results, based …
