Abstract:
A lattice Boltzman model for the simulation of binary mixtures is presented. Contrary to previous models, the present formulation is able to simulate mixtures with different Schmidt numbers and arbitrary molecular mass ratio of the components. In the hydrodynamic limit, the Navier-Stokes and the Stefan-Maxwell binary diffusion equations are recovered. The model is used for the simulation of binary diffusion and mixing layers. The results are found to be in good agreement with a derived similarity solution and with the predictions of a transient spectral element code.
