The quality of the foam was varied by controlling the volumetric flow rate of liquid and gas, and different flow types were identified and charted. Uniform foams move as a rigid body lubricated by water

The fluids are considered to be viscous and incompressible with different kinematic viscosities. A dispersion relation that accounts for the growth of axisymmetric waves is derived and stability is discussed theoretically as well as numerically. Stability criterion is given in terms of critical value of ...

In the earlier versions of the DLM method for Newtonian and viscoelastic liquids the particle surfaces were restricted to be more than one velocity element away from each other. A repulsive body force was applied to the particles when the distance

Originated from the discrete kinetic theory, the LBE method has emerged with the promise to become a superior modeling platform, both computationally and conceptually, compared to the existing arsenal of the continuum-based CFD methods.
