Based on the phase-field theory, we present an improved lattice Boltzmann (LB) method for
simulating droplet dynamics with soluble surfactants. This method takes advantage of three …

Turbulent flows laden withlarge, deformable drops or bubbles are ubiquitous in nature and a
number of industrial processes. These flows are characterized by physics acting at many …

The aim of this paper is twofold: the first aim is to formulate and validate a multi-scale
discrete Boltzmann method (DBM) based on density functional kinetic theory for thermal …

A phase-field moving contact line model is presented for a two-phase system with soluble
surfactants. With the introduction of some scalar auxiliary variables, the original free energy …

Droplet dynamics on a solid substrate is significantly influenced by surfactants. It remains a
challenging task to model and simulate the moving contact line dynamics with soluble …

A compound droplet subject to three-dimensional oscillatory shear flow is studied using a
three-phase lattice Boltzmann model. Firstly, focusing on low values of capillary number …

In this work, we compute numerically breakage/coalescence rates and size distribution of
surfactant-laden droplets in turbulent flow. We use direct numerical simulation of turbulence …

A visualization experiment was conducted to investigate the electrohydrodynamic
deformation of droplets in a combined DC electric field and shear flow field. Detailed …

Double emulsion formation in a hierarchical flow-focusing channel is systematically
investigated using a free-energy ternary lattice Boltzmann model. A three-dimensional …

We study numerically the nonlinear stationary states of a droplet covered with an insoluble
surfactant in a uniaxial extensional flow. We calculate both the eigenfunctions to reveal the …
