Structural Response in Steady-State Flow of a Multi-Component Driven System: Interacting Lattice Gas Simulation

Abstract

The effects of molecular weights (MA,MB) on the self-organized segregation of immiscible constituents (A,B) driven by pressure bias (H=0.0-1.0) generated by geologic processes are examined by an interacting lattice gas Monte Carlo simulation. Constituents (A,B), released from a source at the bottom according to their lattice concentrations, can escape the lattice from top or bottom. The longitudinal steady-state density profiles (A,B) depend on their molecular weight and bias with linear, exponential, and non-monotonic decays with the height.
