Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to the study the multiphase bubbles flow motion in a vertical channel with an electroconducting liquid without and under the influence of a magnetic field.
Design/methodology/approach
For numerical calculations, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is used, which is based on the kinetic theory for solving fluid mechanics and other physical problems. The phase-field lattice Boltzmann model is developed to simulate the behaviour of multiphase bubble–bubble interaction while rising in the fluid with high density ratios.
Findings
The behaviour of the rising bubble flow in a rectangular column of two phases is investigated with the two-dimensional LBM.
Originality/value
The multiphase flow in electroconducting liquids with high ratio of density is studied using the LBM.
