Using a lattice gas model for hydrodynamics which correctly incorporates statistical mechanics, we have modeled the phase equilibrium of two fluids. The model contains interactions which lead to a first order phase transition with a latent heat. We observe the effects of inertia at the interface between two fluids in thermodynamic equilibrium, such that the mean square width of an initially flat interface scales as t^3/2 at long time t.
