  We report the first results of our three-dimensional, mesoscopic, amphiphilic
lattice-Boltzmann model, which has been used to simulate the dynamics of
self-assembly of ordered cubic and lamellar phases in binary water-surfactant
systems. Our results provide insight into the mechanism of ordering of such
mesophases in terms of various molecular forces acting between water and
surfactant molecules and the mechanism driving the transition from the lamellar
to the cubic phase.
