This lattice Boltzmann code is an extension of one of my previous submission ( http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/40607-lattice-boltzmann-immiscible-two-phase-model--lbm- ). It may give a better understanding of the multiphase RK-type lattice Boltzmann model. The numerical algorithm is constructed in such a way that the computer memory required is significantly reduced. With large N, the distribution functions of each color are not required [R1]. Variable density ratios are achieved with enhanced equilibrium distribution functions [R2]. The multiple-relaxation-time collision operator is also available [R3]. Two qualitative simulations are already pre-set:
1) An N-phase spinodal decomposition; and
2) a two-phase oscillating bubble.
This code is based on the following publications:
