Interaction Pressure Tensor for a class of Multicomponent Lattice Boltzmann models

We present a theory to obtain the pressure tensor for a class of non-ideal multicomponent lattice Boltzmann models, thus extending the theory presented by Shan (X. Shan, Phys. Rev. E 77, 066702 (2008)) for single component fluids. We obtain the correct form of the pressure tensor directly on the lattice and the resulting equilibrium properties are shown to agree very well with those measured from numerical simulations. Results are compared with those of alternative theories.
