Abstract

In this paper, we present a numerical scheme for the diffuse-interface model in [3] for two-phase flow of immiscible, incompressible fluids. As that model is in particular consistent with thermodynamics, energy estimates are expected to carry over to the discrete setting. By a subtle discretization of the convective coupling with the flux of the phase-field in the momentum equation, we prove discrete consistency with thermodynamics. Numerical experiments in two spatial dimensions - ranging from Rayleigh-Taylor instability to a comparison with previous modeling approaches - indicate the full practicality of our scheme and enable a first validation of the new modeling approach in [3].
