A Lattice Boltzmann Study of Phase Separation in Liquid-Vapor Systems with Gravity

Abstract
Phase separation of a two-dimensional van der Waals fluid subject to a gravitational force is studied by numerical simulations based on lattice Boltzmann methods implemented with a finite difference scheme. A growth exponent alpha = 1 is measured in the direction of the external force.
