The entropic lattice Boltzmann method (ELBM) has recently been shown to be capable of simulating incompressible flows with good accuracy and enhanced stability. However, the method requires that uniform grids be used, which makes it prohibitively expensive for simulating large Reynolds number flows. In this paper, an interpolation scheme is proposed to extend the applicability of this method to...

In this paper we presented a lattice Boltzmann with square grid for compressible flow problems. Triple level velocity is considered for each cell. Migration step use discrete velocity but continuous parameters are utilized to calculate density, velocity, and energy. So, we called this semi-discrete method. To evaluate the performance of the method the well-known shock tube problem is solved, us...

Burgers equation is a simplified form of the Navier-Stokes equation that represents the non-linear features of it. In this paper, the transient two-dimensional non-linear Burgers equation is solved using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). The results are compared with the Modified Local Crank-Nicolson method (MLCN) and exact solutions. The LBM has been emerged as a new numerical method for sol...

the permeability and tortuosity of pore-scale two and three-dimensional random porous media were calculated using the lattice boltzmann method (lbm). effects of geometrical parameters of medium on permeability and tortuosity were investigated as well. two major models of random porous media were reconstructed by computerized tomography method: randomly distributed rectangular obstacles in a uni...

In this paper a finite-difference-based lattice Boltzmann method for curvilinear coordinates is proposed in order to improve the computational efficiency and numerical stability of a recent method [R. Mei and W. Shyy, J. Comput. Phys. 143, 426 (1998)] in which the collision term of the Boltzmann Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook equation for discrete velocities is treated implicitly. In the present method,...
