A new conservative interaction potential with short-range repulsion and long-distance attraction is constructed by a quartic equation function. The multiphase flow through a cross-shape mesoscopic channel is simulated by dissipative particle dynamics with this new potential function. The results show that the new method is capable of simulating the flow process and flow pattern.
