Abstract: Numerical calculations for three-dimensional vapor–liquid equilibria have been accomplished by lattice Boltzmann simulations. The aim of this investigation is to test the capability of the lattice Boltzmann method in comparison with solutions obtained by the underlying equation of state. As a result we have found a finite-size effect (just like the ones obtained in one and two dimensions) at small lattice sizes for all phase equilibrium properties and related constants such as the critical exponent β. Here, systems with up to 1003lattice sites are investigated. Reasonable convergence has been obtained from about 323lattice sites.
