In this study, a modified Cahn–Hilliard equation with a very simple format was proposed,
which can be used to simulate immiscible multi-component/multiphase flow with a super …

As a highly promising interface capture tool, the phase field method (PFM) has gained fast
development in the past 20 years or so including in the simulation of droplet impact. The …

Direct numerical simulations of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D), single-

The classical model of evaporation of liquids hinges on Maxwell's assumption that the air
near the liquid's surface is saturated. It allows one to find the evaporative flux without …

Phase-field methods based on the Cahn–Hilliard (CH) equation coupled to the
incompressible Navier–Stokes equation are becoming increasingly popular for interface …
