Dear Max,

You mention the force field in OpenLB is actually a force over reference density. For multi-phase flow, I have two phases (liquid and vapor via using single component Shan-Chen model). If I define a force field (an acceleration) into the whole domain, will this method still works?
I am just thinking that vapor tends to have very small acceleration because of very small density. Or this method can only be used two-component Shan-Chen model.

Thanks for your help.
Simon
