stable and efficient miscible liquid-liquid interactions
In our surrounding environment, we may often see many various miscible liquid-liquid mixture phenomena, like pouring honey or ink into water, Coca Cola into strong wine etc., while few papers have devoted to the simulation of the phenomena. In this paper, we use a two-fluid lattice Boltzmann method (TFLBM) to simulate the underlying dynamics of miscible mixtures. By the method, a subgrid model is applied to improve its numerical stability so that the free surface of the mixture, accompanying with higher Reynolds number, can be simulated. We also apply control forces to the mixture with interesting animation created. By optimizing the memory structure and taking the advantage of dual-core or multi-core systems, we achieve real time computation for a domain in 64 3 cells full of fluid mixtures.
