Generalized Boltzmann equation for lattice gas automata

A pr 1 99 4 Generalized Boltzmann Equation for Lattice Gas Automata ∗

In this paper, for the first time a theory is formulated that predicts velocity and spatial correlations between occupation numbers that occur in lattice gas automata violating semi-detailed balance. Starting from a coupled BBGKY hierarchy for the n-particle distribution functions , cluster expansion techniques are used to derive approximate kinetic equations. In zeroth approximation the standa...

Lattice Boltzmann equation for microscale gas flows of binary mixtures.

Modeling and simulating gas flows in and around microdevices are a challenging task in both science and engineering. In practical applications, a gas is usually a mixture made of different components. In this paper we propose a lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) model for microscale flows of a binary mixture based on a recently developed LBE model for continuum mixtures [P. Asinari and L.-S. Luo,...

Implicit Schemes for the Lattice Boltzmann Equation

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 ...
