Abstract
Stationary bubbles simulated by the multiphase lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) lead to eight symmetric eddies at the interfaces of two-phase flows. A distribution function is introduced in the lattice Boltzmann equation. Numerical simulations conform that eight symmetric eddies at the interfaces of two-phase flows are eliminated effectively by using this method, and the spurious velocities are reduces effectively.
