In this work, a novel and simple phase-field-based lattice Boltzmann (LB)
method is proposed for the axisymmetric two-phase electro-hydrodynamic flows. The
present LB method is composed of three LB models, which are used to solve the axisymmetric Allen-Cahn equation for the phase field, the axisymmetric Poisson equation for the electric potential, and the axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations for the
flow field. Compared with the previous LB models for the axisymmetric Poisson
equation, which can be viewed as the solvers to the convection-diffusion equation,
the present model is a genuine solver to the axisymmetric Poisson equation. To test
the capacity of the LB method, the deformation of a single leaky or perfect dielectric
drop under a uniform electric field is considered, and the effects of electric strength,
conductivity ratio, and permittivity ratio are investigated in detail. It is found that
the present numerical results are in good agreement with some available theoretical,
numerical and/or experimental data. 相似文献
Plastic pollution control has been on top of the political agenda in China. In January 2020, China announced a phased ban on the production and usage of various types of single-use plastics as a solution to environmental pollution problems. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 seems to be a new obstacle to the ban on single-use plastic products. To basically satisfied the daily necessities and contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2 under the background of the regular epidemic prevention and control in China, online ordering, contactless delivery and wearing mask have become an important and feasible way of daily life. However, the unrestrained use of disposable plastic bags, lunch boxes and masks within the nationwide quarantine leads to hundreds of millions of plastics wastes every day. The potential environmental pollution caused by the use of disposable plastic products during the pandemic should arouse social concern. The Chinese government should manage environmental protection in parallel with anti-pandemic endeavors as the situation of the pandemic evolves.
