In this work, the motion of a two-dimensional drop on a surface with stepwise wettability
gradient (WG) is studied numerically by a hybrid lattice-Boltzmann finite-difference method …

We revisit the construction of discrete kinetic models for single-component isothermal two-
phase flows. Starting from a kinetic model for a non-ideal fluid, we show that, under …

We studied several wetting boundary conditions (WBCs) in the numerical simulation of
binary fluids by using phase‐field method. Five WBCs, three using the linear, cubic, and sine …

Lattice Boltzmann Modeling (LBM) simulations were performed on the dynamic behavior of
liquid droplets on chemically striped patterned surfaces, ultimately with the aim to develop a …

Studying the dynamic behavior of droplets is of great importance in the electrowetting
phenomena. However, despite the widespread use of non-Newtonian fluids in industry and …

The dynamics and heat transfer performance of droplets play an important role in
electrowetting systems. Contrary to the growing trend towards non-Newtonian fluids in …

Numerical simulation of multiphase flows often represents a challenging task for classical
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) schemes based on the macroscopic description of the …

Superhydrophobic surface characteristics are important in many industrial applications,
ranging from the textile to the military. It was observed that surfaces fabricated with …

We studied several wetting boundary conditions (WBCs) in the simulation of binary fluids
based on phase-field theory. Five WBCs, three belonging to the surface energy (SE) …

Ternary fluid systems (and specifically the ones involving two liquids and a gas phase) are
of special interest for a variety of practical applications, such as combustion engines, ink-jet …
