Abstract:
A mesoscopic multicomponent lattice Boltzmann model with short-range repulsion between different species and short (midranged) 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 (microemulsions) and soft-glassy materials, such as long-time relaxation due to caging effects, anomalous enhanced viscosity, aging effects under moderate shear and flow above a critical shear rate.
