Lattice Boltzmann simulations of drop dynamics
We present a free energy lattice Boltzmann approach to modelling the dynamics of liquid drops on chemically patterned substrates. We start by describing a choice of free energy that reproduces the bulk behaviour of a liquid-gas system together with the varying contact angles on surfaces with chemical patterning. After showing how the formulation of the free energy fits in to the framework of lattice Boltzmann simulations, numerical results are presented to highlight the applicability of the approach. Key words: Lattice Boltzmann, Wetting, Drop dynamics
