Axisymmetric multiphase lattice Boltzmann method for generic equations of state

摘要

We present an axisymmetric lattice Boltzmann model based on the Kupershtokh et al. multiphase model that is capable of solving liquid-gas density ratios up to 10(3). Appropriate source terms are added to the lattice Boltzmann evolution equation to fully recover the axisymrnetric multiphase conservation equations. We validate the model by showing that a stationary droplet obeys the Young-Laplace law, comparing the second oscillation mode of a droplet with respect to an analytical solution and showing correct mass conservation of a propagating density wave.
