In the paper by Hill et al. (2001b), values for A2 are only given for a finite number of gas fractions1 however, A2 is nearly the same as A0 (Koch and Hill, 2001). Note that in Section II.D we suggest a different expression for /i, also on the basis of lattice Boltzmann simulations.

Contributions to pressure drop have also been studied by lattice Boltzmann simulations. Zeiser et al. (2002) postulated that dissipation of energy was due to shear forces and deformational strain. The latter mechanism is usually missed by capillary-based models of pressure drop, such as the Ergun equation, but may be significant in packed beds at low Re. For a bed of spheres with N — 3, they found that the dissipation caused by deformation was about 50% of that... 

A comparison of mesoscopic simulation methods with MD simulations has been performed by Denniston and Robbins.423 They study a binary mixture of simple Lennard-Jones fluids and map out the required parameters of the mesoscopic model from their MD simulation data. Their mapping scheme is more complete than those of previous workers because in addition to accounting for the interfacial order parameter and density profiles, they also consider the stress. Their mapping consists of using MD simulations to parameterise the popular mesoscale Lattice Boltzmann simulation technique and find that a...

This method has been tested for several model systems like the Lennard-Jones argon and carbon-dioxide by molecular d5mamics simulation, the Shan-Chen fluid by lattice Boltzmann simulation and finally for the experimental system helium-4. The method worked well for these systems, therefore here we are trying to apply it here to two other systems, namely for the water in the vicinity of room temperature and for the helium-3 in the whole liquid range.

Figure 19.7. Representative results from late stages of a lattice Boltzmann simulation of phase separation of a 15/85 binary mixture under shear [105]. Droplets formed in intermediate stages of the simulation reconnect into stringlike structures that appear to persist and coarsen in cross-sectional dimension with time. See the insert showing the colored figures for a better view.

The T-shaped junction is the most studied shear-based emulsification device. In T-shaped junctions as shown in Fig. 4, the continuous phase flows through the horizontal channel, and the to-be-dispersed phase is pressurized through the vertical channel where it meets the continuous phase, is distorted, and eventually forms droplets at the T-junction. Typical images of this process in an experimental setup through Lattice Boltzmann simulations are shown in Fig. 4.
