Abstract
We consider a computational model for complex-fluid-solid interaction based
on a diffuse-interface model for the complex fluid and a hyperelastic-material
model for the solid. The diffuse-interface complex-fluid model is described by
the incompressible Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard equations with
preferential-wetting boundary conditions at the fluid-solid interface. The
corresponding fluid traction on the interface includes a capillary-stress
contribution, and the dynamic interface condition comprises the traction
exerted by the non-uniform fluid-solid surface tension. We present a weak
formulation of the aggregated complex-fluid-solid-interaction problem, based on
an Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation of the Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard
equations and a proper reformulation of the complex-fluid traction and the
fluid-solid surface tension. To validate the presented
complex-fluid-solid-interaction model, we present numerical results and conduct
a comparison to experimental data for a droplet on a soft substrate.
