The free energy based lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for two-phase flow with large density ratio is used to simulate droplet dynamics in the polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC). The shape deformation of a static water droplet in the gas channel occurred in the simulations was eliminated. In this LBM model, two types of staggered grids which respectively make use of the velocity components from the orthogonal and diagonal directions are blended to calculate the hydrodynamic pressure from the Poisson equation, with the successive over-relaxation method (SOR). It is found that the simulated water droplet shape is determined by both the blending factor of the two types of staggered grids and the radius length. The appropriate blending factor for each radius length is summarized to optimize the simulation. The dependence of shape deformation on the blending factor and the radius length is further validated while considering the wettability effect of the solid wall of the gas channel. It is proved that the summarized appropriate blending factors are still practical when the concept of equivalent radius length is adopted.

To resimulate a customized fluid derived product by analyzing an existing fluid is significant and difficult. This paper proposes a driven model recovery method, which is challenging in fluid resimulation customization. First, fluid physical properties are calculated under the constraints of appearance and dynamic behavior of the example water. Second, a hybrid particle lattice Boltzmann method for shallow water (LBMSW) is recovered from the dynamic geometry on fluid surface. As it is found that the resimulation details fade gradually with LBMSW auto-advection, a physically-based enhancement scheme is presented. A nonlinear algorithm is introduced to stretch the faded density to retain resimulation details. Experiments show that the proposed approach can obtain more realistic resimulation products in several challenging scenarios.
