Theory for the Three-Phase Flow Interface
The Three-Phase Flow, Phase Field interface can be used to model the flow and interaction of three different, immiscible fluids, when the exact positions of the interfaces separating the fluids are of interest. The fluid-fluid interfaces are tracked using a ternary phase field formulation which account for differences in the fluids’ densities and viscosities and include the effects of surface tension.
