Diffusion on unstructured triangular grids using Lattice Boltzmann
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we present a Lattice Boltzmann scheme for diffusion on unstructured triangular grids. In this formulation there is no need for interpolation, as is required in other LB schemes on irregular grids. At the end of the propagation step, the lattice gas particles arrive exactly at neighbouring lattice sites, as is the case in LB schemes on Bravais lattices. The scheme is constructed using the constraints that the moments of the equilibrium distribution equals that of the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution. For a special choice of the relaxation parameter (ω = 1) we show that our LB scheme is identical to a cell-centred Finite Volume scheme on an unstructured triangular grid. Consequences of the use of the unstructured grid on the required data structures is discussed in detail. Subsequent simulation show that diffusion on this unstructured grid is isotropic. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A Generalised Lattice Boltzmann Equation on Unstructured Grids
This paper presents a new finite-volume discretization of a generalised Lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) on unstructured grids. This equation is the continuum LBE, with the addition of a second order time derivative term (memory), and is derived from a second-order differential form of the semi-discrete Boltzmann equation in its implicit form. The new scheme, named unstructured lattice Boltzman...
متن کاملIntroduced a Modified Set of Boundary Condition of Lattice Boltzmann Method Based on Bennett extension in Presence of Buoyancy Term Considering Variable Diffusion Coefficients
Various numerical boundary condition methods have been proposed to simulate various aspects of the no-slip wall condition using the Lattice Boltzmann Method. In this paper, a new boundary condition scheme is developed to model the no-slip wall condition in the presence of the body force term near the wall which is based on the Bennett extension. The error related to the new model is smaller tha...
متن کاملAdvection-diffusion lattice Boltzmann scheme for hierarchical grids
In this paper we describe an extension of a recently developed lattice Boltzmann method for solving the advection–diffusion equation. Our proposed approach allows to couple grids of different grid resolutions and includes a staggered timestepping scheme, interpolations in space and time and finally a scaling step ensuring the continuity of the desired macroscopic quantities across the grid inte...
متن کاملA New Implicit Dissipation Term for Solving 3D Euler Equations on Unstructured Grids by GMRES+LU-SGS Scheme
Due to improvements in computational resources, interest has recently increased in using implicit scheme for solving flow equations on 3D unstructured grids. However, most of the implicit schemes produce greater numerical diffusion error than their corresponding explicit schemes. This stems from the fact that in linearizing implicit fluxes, it is conventional to replace the Jacobian matrix in t...
