This article presents a comprehensive review of numerical methods and models for interface
resolving simulations of multiphase flows in microfluidics and micro process engineering …

A phase-field-based hybrid model that combines the lattice Boltzmann method with the finite
difference method is proposed for simulating immiscible thermocapillary flows with variable …

Laser-based metal processing including welding and three dimensional printing, involves
localized melting of solid or granular raw material, surface tension-driven melt flow and …

Interfacial-driven flows are important phenomena in many processes. In this article, we
present a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) model for thermo-capillary flow driven …

We extend a diffuse interface phase-field method for two-phase flow simulations so as to
include interfacial heat transfer and the thermal Marangoni effect. The set of governing …

The propagation of capillary waves on material interfaces between two fluids imposes a
strict constraint on the numerical time-step applied to solve the equations governing this …

The Marangoni effect—often invoked to describe the so-called “tears of wine”—is in essence
the mass transfer along an interface between two fluids due to a gradient of the surface …

Three numerical methods, namely, volume of fluid (VOF), simple coupled volume of fluid
with level set (S‐CLSVOF), and S‐CLSVOF with the density‐scaled balanced continuum …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is an emerging technology that fuses deposited powder
materials together layer-by-layer using a localized heat source to create an arbitrarily …

To understand how thermocapillary forces manipulate the droplet motion in a confined
microchannel, a lattice Boltzmann phase-field model is developed to simulate immiscible …
