Reaction-limited evaporation for the color-gradient lattice Boltzmann model
Gaurav Nath, Othmane Aouane, Jens Harting
We present a method to achieve reaction-limited evaporation for the color-gradient lattice Boltzmann multicomponent model. Our approach involves a systematic way to remove fluid ma…
