LBMComputeSurfaceForces

Compute object for LB surface forces

This object acts similarly to LBMComputeForces and computes surface forces from chemical potential and gradient of phase-field order parameter.

Overview

Computes interfacial tension force density from a chemical potential and gradient of phase field parameter for phase-field LBM. coupling. Supply the chemical potential with "chemical_potential" and the gradient with "grad_phi". The result is a vector field written to "buffer".
