We present a mesoscale kinetic model for multicomponent flows, augmented with a short range forcing term, aimed at describing the combined effect of surface tension and near-contact interactions operating at the fluid interface level. Such a mesoscale approach is shown to (i) accurately capture the complex dynamics of bouncing colliding droplets for different values of the main governing parameters, (ii) predict quantitatively the effective viscosity of dense emulsions in micro-channels and (iii) simulate the formation of the so-called soft flowing crystals in microfluidic focusers.
