Free Energy Minimization and Multicomponent, Multi-Phase Lattice Boltzmann Simulations of Van Der Waals Fluid Mixtures
In this thesis, we develop a general framework for the lattice Boltzmann method to simulate multiphase systems with an arbitrary number of components. Theoretical expectations are easily visualized for binary mixtures, so we focus on characterizing the performance of the method by numerically minimi...
