Pattern formation in binary fluids confined between rough, chemically heterogeneous surfaces.

Using a mesoscale model for hydrodynamics, we simulate driven flow of AB binary fluids past surfaces that contain well-defined roughness or asperities. The geometry and wetting properties of the asperities are found to have a dramatic effect on the flow patterns. We isolate conditions where the A fl...
