چکیده

in English An introduction is given to the lattice Boltzmann method and its background, with a view towards acoustic applications of the method. To make a larger range of acoustic applications possible, a point source method is proposed. This point source is applied to simulate cylindrical waves and plane waves, and is shown to give a very good numerical result compared with analytic solutions of viscously damped cylindrical and plane waves. Good results are found for simulations of Doppler effect, diffraction, and viscously damped standing waves. It is concluded that the lattice Boltzmann method could be suitable for simulating acoustics in complex flows, at ultrasound frequencies and very small spatial scales. The lattice Boltzmann method is shown to be unfeasible at lower frequencies or for larger systems. Abstract in Norwegianin Norwegian En introduksjon gis til lattice Boltzmann-metoden og dens bakgrunn, med henblikk p̊a akustiske anvendelser av metoden. For å muliggjøre flere forskjellige akustiske anvendelser foresl̊as en punktkildemetode. Denne punktkilden anvendes for å simulere sylinderog planbølger, og det vises at den gir et svært bra numerisk resultat sammenlignet med analytiske løsninger av viskøst dempede sylinderog planbølger. Gode resultater finnes for simuleringer av Dopplereffekt, diffraksjon og viskøst dempede st̊aende bølger. Det konkluderes med at lattice Boltzmann-metoden kan være passende for å simulere akustikk i komplekse strømninger, ved ultralydfrekvenser og svært sm̊a romlige skalaer. Lattice Boltzmann-metoden vises å være upraktisk ved lavere frekvenser og for større systemer.

External and Internal Incompressible Viscous Flows Computation using Taylor Series Expansion and Least Square based Lattice Boltzmann Method

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has recently become an alternative and promising computational fluid dynamics approach for simulating complex fluid flows. Despite its enormous success in many practical applications, the standard LBM is restricted to the lattice uniformity in the physical space. This is the main drawback of the standard LBM for flow problems with complex geometry. Several app...

Numerical analysis of gas flows in a microchannel using the Cascaded Lattice Boltzmann Method with varying Bosanquet parameter

Abstract. In this paper, a Cascaded Lattice Boltzmann Method with second order slip boundary conditions is developed to study gas flows in a microchannel in the slip and transition flow regimes with a wide range of Knudsen numbers. For the first time the effect of wall confinement is considered on the effective mean free path of the gas molecules using a function with nonconstant Bosanquet para...

Using the Lattice Boltzmann Method for the numerical study of non-fourier conduction with variable thermal conductivity

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) was used to analyze two-dimensional (2D) non-Fourier heat conduction with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. To this end, the evolution of wave-like temperature distributions in a 2D plate was obtained. The temperature distributions along certain parts of the plate, which was subjected to heat generation and constant thermal conductivity condit...

In this paper, implementation of an extended form of a no-slip wall boundary condition is presented for the three-dimensional (3-D) lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for solving the incompressible fluid flows with complex geometries. The boundary condition is based on the off-lattice scheme with a polynomial interpolation which is used to reconstruct the curved or irregular wall boundary on the ne...
