Abstract
We developed a new lattice Boltzmann method that allows the simulation of t wo-phase flow of viscoelastic liquid mixtures. We used this new method to s imulate a bubble rising in a viscoelastic fluid and were able to reproduce the experimentally observed cusp at the trailing end of the bubble.
