Abstract
A two-dimensional two-colour, nonlinear, Galilean-invariant, Boltzmann cellular automaton is developed and used to study two-fluid hydrodyna mics and to model fluid interfaces. The interfacial tension and interf ace width are flexibly controlled by the parameters defining collision rules for the colored particles. Results of studies of both the stati c and dynamical relaxation of the surface tension and wetting properti es are presented.
