Phase-field-theory-based lattice Boltzmann equation method for N immiscible incompressible fluids

Abstract:
From the phase field theory, we develop a lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) method for N (N≥2) immiscible incompressible fluids, and the Cahn-Hilliard equation, which could capture the interfaces between different phases, is also solved by LBE for an N-phase system. In this model, the interface force of N immiscible incompressible fluids is incorporated by chemical potential form, and the fluid-fluid surface tensions could be directly calculated and independently tuned. Numerical simulations including two stationary droplets, spreading of a liquid lens with and without gravity and two immiscible liquid lenses, and phase separation are conducted to validate the present LBE, and numerical results show that the predictions by LBE agree well with the analytical solutions and other numerical results.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
