abstract: since the field of micro electromechanical systems (mems) continues to grow, the flow in micro devices have become an area that receives a significant attention. the microscopic flows are usually characterized by the knudsen number (kn). when the characteristic size of the particle decreases down to a value comparable to the mean free path of the molecules, the continuum assumption fa...

in this paper, fluid flow between two parallel flat plates that are partially filled with two-dimension porous media is investigated numerically using single relaxation time (srt) lattice boltzmann method (lbm) at pore scale. the considered obstacles are random, circular, rigid and granular with uniform diameters. single component and single-phase viscous newtonian fluid are considered as worki...

In this paper, Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is used to study laminar flow with mixed convection heat transfer inside a two-dimensional inclined lid-driven rectangular cavity with aspect ratio AR = 3. Bottom wall of the cavity is maintained at lower temperature than the top lid, and its vertical walls are assumed insulated. Top lid motion results in fluid motion inside the cavity. Inclination ...
