Topology Controls the Phase Separation Dynamics of Many Component Fluid Mixtures
Michael Rennick, Xitong Zhang, Halim Kusumaatmaja
Fluid mixtures, ranging from the cellular cytoplasm to synthetic DNA nanostar systems, can spontaneously compartmentalize into many () coexisting liquid phases through liquid-li…

N-Component Free Energy Lattice Boltzmann Method with Reduction Consistency and Global Momentum Conservation
Michael Rennick, Xitong Zhang, Tim Niklas Bingert +2
We present a free energy lattice Boltzmann model capable of simulating fluid systems with an arbitrary number of immiscible components in principle. Our method is strictly reductio…

The Diffuse Solid Method for Wetting and Multiphase Fluid Simulations in Complex Geometries
Fandi Oktasendra, Michael Rennick, Samuel J. Avis +2
We develop a diffuse solid method that is versatile and accurate for modeling wetting and multiphase flows in highly complex geometries. In this scheme, we harness N + 1-component…
