AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">Free energy lattice Boltzmann methods are well suited for the simulation of
two phase flow problems. The model for the interface is based on well understood
physical grounds. In most cases a numerical interface is used instead of the physical
one because of lattice resolution limitations. In this paper we present a framework
where we can both follow the droplet behavior in a coarse scale and solve the interface
in a fine scale simultaneously. We apply the method for the simulation of a droplet
using an interface to diameter size ratio of 1 to 280. In a second simulation, a small
droplet coalesces with a 42 times larger droplet producing on it only a small capillary
wave that propagates and dissipates.</p>
