[ESPResSo-users] Espresso/Espresso++ and multiphase fluids

[Wink, Markus]

Dear Espresso-community,

 

I have read that Espresso++ is the successor of Espresso. Does it mean, that  the support of Espresso will be stopped soon and one should swap to Espresso++? So far, the documentation of the latter does not seem to be that extensive as the one of ESPresSo.
I have also read the paper on Espresso++ (DOI: 10.1016/j.cpc.2012.12.004) which states, that the main difference lies in the ability of providing AdResS. Besides that, are there other reasons why one should choose ESPresSo++ over ESPresSo?

 

Furthermore I am interested in the simulation of multiphase fluids. I am thinking of simulations of flow-focusing devices, joining of droplets or injection of droplets. ESPresSo should be able doing that using the Shan-Chen algorithm , shouldn’t it? Does anyone of you has tried it before and could tell me about his experience, please?

 

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,

 

Markus Wink
