An energy stable C0 finite element scheme for a quasi-incompressible phase-field model of moving contact line with variable density
Abstract
In this paper, we focus on modeling and simulation of two-phase flow problems with
moving contact lines and variable density. A thermodynamically consistent phase-field
model with general Navier boundary condition is developed based on the concept of
quasi-incompressibility and the energy variational method. A mass conserving C0 finite
element scheme is proposed to solve the PDE system. Energy stability is achieved at
the fully discrete level. Various numerical results confirm that the proposed scheme
for both P1 element and P2 element are energy stable.
