In this study, at the first stage, the rupture criterion of bubbles wall in Aluminum metal foam liquid was investigated by using Lattice Boltzmann. The two phases modeling were accomplished by using a modified Shan-Chen model. This model was run for several bubbles in A356+3wt.%SiC melt system. Then, bubbles morphologies (virtual metallographic) for A356+3wt.%SiC foams were simulated. Results s...

This work contains a brief review of the lattice Boltzmann method. Specifically, Shan-Chen pseudopotential approach is described in details to simulate two immiscible components and understand the deformation of a droplet in a shear velocity. We also discuss the stability of the model in terms of different parameters and effects of those parameters on deformation of the droplet. Furthermore, th...

Shan-Chen model is a numerical scheme to simulate multiphase fluid flows using Lattice Boltzmann approach. The original ShanChen model suffers from inability to accurately predict behavior of air bubbles interacting in a non-aqueous fluid. In the present study, we extended the Shan-Chen model to take the effect of the attraction-repulsion barriers among bubbles in to account. The proposed model...

Nanograin rotation via grain boundary sliding has been predicted as an important deformation mode in nanocrystalline materials as grain sizes approach less than 10 nm (1–3). However, definite experimental evidence beyond molecular dynamics (MD) simulations has been long sought. Recently, Shan et al. (4) reported in situ straining dark-field transmission electron microscope (DFTEM) observations ...

Methods for implementing variable surface tension on two popular Lattice– Boltzmann models, the original gradient-based chromodynamic model, and the Shan–Chen model, are explored and examined. The experiment, inspired by the work of Greenspan, consists of reducing the surface tension at two poles of a circular droplet due to a diffusive solute (surfactant). Both Lattice Boltzmann models are abl...

We propose a method for approximating the adhesion parameters in the Shan and Chen multicomponent, multiphase lattice Boltzmann model that leads to the desired fluid-solid contact angle. The method is a straightforward application of Young's equation with substitution of the Shan and Chen cohesion parameter and a density factor for the fluid-fluid interfacial tension, and the adhesion parameter...

The work presents simulations with the multirange Shan–Chen model developed by Sbragaglia et al. (2007) [18], which improved the Shan–Chen model for the proper surface tension term. Also, by introducing the matrix collision operator and extended equilibrium density distribution function, the density ratio is increased from 100 to 160. The MultiRelaxation Time (MRT) method attracted the attentio...

In this research the stress-strain curve of porous Titanium, as a common material for biomedical application, was predicted using the mechanical properties of fully solid Titanium experimental data. Modified Gurson model (Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model) was used to predict the plastic response of porous Titanium in compaction. Different values of GTN parameters were used for different i...
