Well-balanced lattice Boltzmann equation for two-phase flows

Abstract
The standard lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) method usually fails to capture the physical equilibrium state of a two-phase fluid system, i.e., zero velocity and constant chemical potential. Consequently, spurious velocities and inconsistent thermodynamic density properties are frequently encountered in LBE simulations. In this work, based on a rigorous analysis of the discrete balance equation of LBE, we identify the structure of the force imbalance due to discretization errors from different parts. Then a well-balanced LBE is proposed which can achieve the discrete equilibrium state. The well-balanced properties of the LBE are confirmed by some numerical tests of a flat interface problem and a droplet system.
