A model with a volumetric stress tensor added to the Navier–Stokes Equation is used to study two-phase fluid flows. The implementation of such an interface model into the lattice-Boltzmann equation is derived from the continuous Boltzmann BGK equation with an external force term, by using the discrete coordinate method. Numerical simulations are carried out for phase separation and "dam breaking" phenomena.

We propose a general control framework for two-phase flows with variable densities in the diffuse interface formulation, where the distribution of the fluid components is described by a phase field. The flow is governed by the diffuse interface model proposed in Abelset al.[M3AS22(2012) 1150013]. On the basis of the stable time discretization proposed in Garckeet al.[Appl. Numer. Math.99(2016) 151] we derive necessary optimality conditions for the time-discrete and the fully discrete optimal control problem. We present numerical examples with distributed and boundary controls, and also consider the case, where the initial value of the phase field serves as control variable.
