Mesoscopic lattice Boltzmann modeling of flowing soft systems

preprint2008arXivOpen access

Abstract

A mesoscopic multi-component lattice Boltzmann model with short-range repulsion between different species and short/mid-ranged attractive/repulsive interactions between like-molecules is introduced. The interplay between these composite interactions gives rise to a rich configurational dynamics of the density field, exhibiting many features of disordered liquid dispersions (micro-emulsions) and soft-glassy materials, such as long-time relaxation due to caging effects, anomalous enhanced viscosity, ageing effects under moderate shear and flow above a critical shear rate.
