Abstract
We present simulation results of late-stage coarsening of a 3D symmetric binary fluid using a lattice Boltzmann method on a 2563 grid. With reduced lengths and times L, T (scales set by viscosity, density and surface tension) our datasets taken together cover 1 < L < 105, 10 < T < 108, equivalent to Reynolds numbers 0.1 < Re < 350.At Re > 100 we find clear evidence of Furukawa's inertial scaling (L proportional to T2/3), after a very broad crossover from the viscous regime (L proportional to T). © 2000 OPA (Overseas Publishers Association) N.V.
