Multiparticle collision dynamics for fluid interfaces with near-contact interactions

Abstract

We present an extension of the multiparticle collision dynamics method for flows with complex interfaces, including supramolecular near-contact interactions mimicking the effect of surfactants. The new method is demonstrated for the case of (i) short range repulsion of droplets in close contact, (ii) arrested phase separation and (iii) different pattern formation during spinodal decomposition of binary mixtures.
