Abstract

In this work, we propose a phase-field-based lattice Boltzmann method to simulate moving contact line (MCL) problems on curved boundaries. The key point of this method is to implement the boundary conditions on curved solid boundaries. Specifically, we use our recently proposed single-node scheme for the no-slip boundary condition and a new scheme is constructed to deal with the wetting boundary conditions (WBCs). In particular, three kinds of WBCs are implemented: two wetting conditions derived from the wall free energy and a characteristic MCL model based on geometry considerations. The method is validated with several MCL problems and numerical results show that the proposed method has utility for all the three WBCs on both straight and curved boundaries.
