In this talk, I will  describe a newly developed phase field model for two phase fluid flow based on Cahn Hilliard  Navier Stokes equation with generalized Navier boundary condition.  Homogenization method is used to derive  the Wenzel's and Cassie's equations for two phase flow on rough surfaces. Efficient numerical method for the model will also be discussed. We then present some numerical results on two phase flow on rough and patterned surfaces.
