Simulating Colloid Hydrodynamics with Lattice Boltzmann
arXiv:cond-mat/0404643 · doi:10.1088/0953-8984/16/38/009
Abstract
We present a progress report on our work on lattice Boltzmann methods for colloidal suspensions. We focus on the treatment of colloidal particles in binary solvents and on the inclusion of thermal noise. For a benchmark problem of colloids sedimenting and becoming trapped by capillary forces at a horizontal interface between two fluids, we discuss the criteria for parameter selection, and address the inevitable compromise between computational resources and simulation accuracy.
