Abstract

A lattice Boltzmann model for simulating fluids with multiple components and interparticle forces proposed by Shan and Chen is described in detail. Macroscopic equations governing the motion of each component are derived by using the Chapman-Enskog method. The mutual diffusivity in a binary mixture is calculated analytically and confirment by numerical simulation. The diffusivity is generally a function of the concentrations of the two components but independent of the fluid velocity, so that the diffusion is Galilean invariant. The analytically calculated shear kinematic viscosity of this model is also confiremoed numerically.
