Abstract
A nonisotropic tensorial extension of the single-component Shan-Chen pseudopotential Lattice Boltzmann method for nonideal fluids is presented. Direct comparison with experimental data shows that this extension is able to capture relevant features of ferrofluid behavior, such as the deformation and subsequent rupture of a liquid droplet as a function of an externally applied magnetic field. The present model offers an economic lattice-kinetic pathway to the simulation of complex ferrofluid hydrodynamics. © 2009 The American Physical Society.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
