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, the lattice Boltzmann method is reviewed for specific applications to numerical simulation of multiphase flow problems. A thorough literature review regarding the multi-phase lattice Boltzmann method was conducted with special focus on flows with large density and viscosity ratios between the two phases. A multiphase model with the capability of handling large-density-ratios is c...

A subgrid turbulence model for the lattice Boltzmann method is proposed for high Reynolds number fluid flow applications. The method, based on the standard Smagorinsky subgrid model and a single-time relaxation lattice Boltzmann method, incorporates the advantages of the lattice Boltzmann method for handling arbitrary boundaries and is easily implemented on parallel machines. The method is appl...

in this paper, two dimensional natural convection heat transfer in non-square cavities such as triangle, trapezoid, quadrant-circle and semi-circular are investigated via lattice boltzmann method. the prandtl number is taken as 0.71 that corresponds to that of air. the results show that, when the flow pattern consists of two rotating cell, there is a extremum point in the variations of the loca...

Abstract   Due to restrictions on the choice of relaxation time in single relaxation time (SRT) models, simulation of flows is generally limited base on this method. In this paper, the SRT lattice Boltzmann equation was used to simulate lid driven cavity flow at different Reynolds numbers (100-5000) and three aspect ratios, K=1, 1.5 and 4. The point which is vital in convergence of this scheme ...

This paper is focused on the application of hybrid Single relaxation time lattice Boltzmann and finite volume methods in conjunction with discrete ordinates method to simulate coupled natural convection and volumetric radiation in differentially heated enclosure, filled with an absorbing, emitting and non-scattering gray medium. In this work, the velocity and temperature fields are calculated u...

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has established itself as a valid numerical method in computational fluid dynamics. Recently, multiple-relaxation-time LBM has been proposed to simulate anisotropic advection-diffusion processes. The governing differential equations of advective-diffusive systems are known to satisfy maximum principles, comparison principles, the non-negative constraint, and t...
