Abstract

We introduce a new deterministic collision rule for lattice-gas (cellular-automaton) hydrodynamics that yields immiscible two-phase flow. The rule is based on a minimization principle and the conservation of mass, momentum, and particle type. A numerical example demonstrates the spontaneous separation of two phases in two dimensions. Numerical studies show that the surface tension coefficient obeys Laplace's formula.
