Lattice Boltzmann Equation for Laminar Boundary Flow

A simple method based on the lattice Boltzmann equatio n is presented for the evaluati on of the velocity profile of fluid flows near walls or in the vicinity of the interface between two fluids. The met hod is applied to fluid flow near a wall, to channel flow, and to the transition zone between two fluids flowing parallel to each other in opposite direct ions. The results show good agreement ...

A Modified Flux Vector Splitting Scheme for Flow Analysis in Shock Wave Laminar Boundary Layer Interactions

The present work introduces a modified scheme for the solution of compressible 2-D full Navier-Stokes equations, using Flux Vector Splitting method. As a result of this modification, numerical diffusion is reduced. The computer code which is developed based on this algorithm can be used easily and accurately to analyze complex flow fields with discontinuity in properties, in cases such as shock...

Laminar-turbulent separatrix in a boundary layer flow

The transitional boundary layer flow over a flat plate is investigated. The boundary layer flow is known to develop unstable Tollmien-Schlichting waves above a critical value of the Reynolds number. However, it is also known that this transition can be observed for sub-critical Reynolds numbers. In that case the basin of attraction of the laminar state coexists with the sustained turbulence. In...
