We present and verify a multicomponent lattice Boltzmann simulation scheme for two immiscible and incompressible fluids with a large density contrast. Our method is constructed from a continuum approximation description of a single inhomogeneous, and essentially incompressible, fluid. The equations that arise from this analysis are mapped onto an established multicomponent lattice Boltzmann method. The approach avoids the computational expense of a numerical solution of the fluid pressure field in a separate step. We present results obtained with our model which validate the initial assumptions and verify correct static and dynamic operation of the model up to a fluid density contrast ratio of more than 500. The paper concludes with an example that illustrates the potential utility of the approach by modeling a gas bubble rising under gravity and breaking through a free surface.
