NUMERICAL EFFECTS IN A FINITE DIFFERENCE LATTICE BOLTZMANN MODEL FOR LIQUID-VAPOUR SYSTEMS

A two-dimensional finite difference Lattice Boltzmann model for liquid-vapour systems is introduced. Phase separation is achieved using the dimensionless van der Waals equation of state. A force term is added to account for the surface tension. Flux limiters and TVD schemes are used to improve the accuracy of this model.
