In this paper, we developed a coupled diffuse-interface lattice Boltzmann method (DI-LBM) to study the transport of a charged particle in the Poiseuille flow, which is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid field and the Poisson-Boltzmann equation for electric potential field. We first validated the present DI-LBM through some classical benchmark problems, and then investigated the effect of electric field on the lateral migration of the particle in the Poiseuille flow. The numerical results show that the electric field has a significant influence on the particle migration. When an electric field in the vertical direction is applied to the charged particle initially located above the centerline of the channel, the equilibrium position of the particle would drop suddenly as the electric field is larger than a critical value. This is caused by the wall repulsion due to lubrication, the inertial lift related to shear slip, the lift owing to particle rotation, the lift due to the curvature of the undisturbed velocity profile, and the electric force. On the other hand, when an electric field in the horizontal direction is adopted, the equilibrium position of the particle would move toward the centerline of the channel with the increase of the electric field.

In this work we develop an improved phase-field based lattice Boltzmann (LB) method where a hybrid Allen-Cahn equation (ACE) with a flexible weight instead of a global weight is used to suppress the numerical dispersion and eliminate the coarsening phenomenon. Then two LB models are adopted to solve the hybrid ACE and the Navier-Stokes equations, respectively. Through the Chapman-Enskog analysis, the present LB model can correctly recover the hybrid ACE, and the macroscopic order parameter used to label different phases can be calculated explicitly. Finally, the present LB method is validated by five tests, including the diagonal translation of a circular interface, two stationary bubbles with different radii, a bubble rising under the gravity, the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in two-dimensional and three-dimensional cases, and the three-dimensional Plateau-Rayleigh instability. The numerical results show that the present LB method has a superior performance in reducing the numerical dispersion and the coarsening phenomenon.

Auto-ejection of liquid is an important process in engineering applications, and is also very complicated since it involves interface moving, deforming, and jet breaking up. In this work, a theoretical velocity of meniscus at nozzle exit is first derived, which can be used to analyze the critical condition for auto-ejection of liquid. Then a consistent and conservative axisymmetric lattice Boltzmann (LB) method is proposed to study the auto-ejection process of liquid jet from a nozzle. We test the LB model by conducting some simulations, and find that the numerical results agree well with the theoretical and experimental data. We further consider the effects of contraction ratio, length ratio, contact angle, and nozzle structure on the auto-ejection, and observe some distinct phenomena during the ejection process, including the deformation of meniscus, capillary necking, and droplet pinch off. Finally, the results reported in the present work may play an instructive role on the design of droplet ejectors and the understanding of jetting dynamics in microgravity environment.

An efficient third-order discrete unified gas kinetic scheme (DUGKS) is presented in this paper for simulating continuum and rarefied flows. By employing a two-stage time-stepping scheme and the high-order DUGKS flux reconstruction strategy, third order of accuracy in both time and space can be achieved in the present method. It is also analytically proven that the second-order DUGKS is a special case of the present method. Compared with the high-order lattice Boltzmann equation-based methods, the present method is capable to deal with the rarefied flows by adopting the Newton-Cotes quadrature to approximate the integrals of moments. Instead of being constrained by the second order (or lower order) of accuracy in the time-splitting scheme as in the conventional high-order Runge-Kutta-based kinetic methods, the present method solves the original Boltzmann equation, which overcomes the limitation in time accuracy. Typical benchmark tests are carried out for comprehensive evaluation of the present method. It is observed in the tests that the present method is advantageous over the original DUGKS in accuracy and capturing delicate flow structures. Moreover, the efficiency of the present third-order method is also shown in simulating rarefied flows.
