Abstract
The Lattice Boltzmann method is employed to simulate binary droplet collisions. The Shan-Chen multiphase model, improved in the equation of state and in the incorporation of the body force, is integrated into the Multiple Relaxation Time scheme. Qualitative comparisons with the experiments show very good agreement.
