Abstract

A lattice Boltzmann model is established to describe liquid-vapor phase transitions using a model proposed by Shan instead of the R-K model. Evaporation from a higher density phase to a lower density phase is simulated. The model improves calculation efficiency and obtains good results. The model is also used to simulate phase transitions in porous media with a pore scale to demonstrate feasibility of the model for complicate phase transition problems.
