Beschreibung
Swalbe.jl is an open source lattice Boltzmann based solver for thin film dynamics [1]. Intended for problems raging from the relaxation or coalescence of droplets to the dewetting of thin films on complex substrates [2]. Features such as thermal fluctuations or spatially resolved contact angles are readily usable and shown to agree with theoretical predictions [3,4]. Switchable substrates can be realized adding a temporal component to the contact angle [5].
