Isotropy Conditions for Lattice Boltzmann Schemes . Application to D 2 Q 9 ∗

In this paper, we recall the linear version of the lattice Boltzmann schemes in the framework proposed by d’Humières. According to the equivalent equations we introduce a definition for a scheme to be isotropic at some order. This definition is chosen such that the equivalent equations are preserved by orthogonal transformations of the frame. The property of isotropy can be read through a group...

Implicit Schemes for the Lattice Boltzmann Equation

Lees-Edwards boundary conditions for Lattice Boltzmann

Lees-Edwards boundary conditions (LEbc) for Molecular Dynamics simulations [1] are an extension of the well known periodic boundary conditions and allow the simulation of bulk systems in a simple shear flow. We show how the idea of LEbc can be implemented in lattice Boltzmann simulations and how LEbc can be used to overcome the problem of a maximum shear rate that is limited to less then 1/Ly (...

Boundary conditions for the lattice Boltzmann method

Based on the no-slip boundary condition for walls at rest for the lattice Boltzmann Bathnagar-Gross-Krook method by J.C.G. Verschaeve [10], a no-slip boundary condition for walls with a tangential movement is derived. Numerical tests verify that the present boundary condition is second order accurate and stable for relaxation frequencies close to two.

On rotational invariance of lattice Boltzmann schemes

We propose the derivation of acoustic-type isotropic partial differential equations that are equivalent to linear lattice Boltzmann schemes with a density scalar field and a momentum vector field as conserved moments. The corresponding linear equivalent partial differential equations are generated with a new “Berliner version” of the Taylor expansion method. The details of the implementation ar...
