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.
