Abstract
The immiscible two-phase flow in a T-shape microchannel with cross-section was modeled using the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). Some typical kerosene-water two-phase flow patterns in the T-shape microchannel were simulated successfully and the numerical results agreed well with published data. The effects of interfacial tension and surface wetting angle of the immiscible fluid between water phase and microchannel wall were examined. Numerical results were applied to understand the typical flow mechanisms of kerosene-water system. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 8th World Congress of Chemical Engineering (Montreal, Quebec, Canada 8/23-27/2009).
