Maier, Robert S., and Robert S. Bernard. "Accuracy of the Lattice-Boltzmann Method." International Journal of Modern Physics C 08, no. 04 (August 1997): 747–52. http://dx.doi.org/10.1142/s0129183197000631.
Abstract:
The accuracy of the lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM) is moderated by several factors, including Mach number, spatial resolution, boundary conditions, and the lattice mean free path. Results obtained with 3D lattices suggest that the accuracy of certain two-dimensional (2D) flows, such as Poiseuille and Couette flow, persist even when the mean free path between collisions is large, but that of the 3D duct flow deteriorates markedly when the mean free path exceeds the lattice spacing. Accuracy in general decreases with Knudsen number and Mach number, and the product of these two quantities is a useful index for the applicability of LBM to 3D low-Reynolds-number flow. The influence of boundary representations on LBM accuracy is captured by the proposed index, when the accuracy of the prescribed boundary conditions is consistent with that of LBM.

Abstract:
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is a highly simplified model for fluid flows using a few limited fictitious particles. It has been developed into a very efficient and flexible alternative numerical method in computational physics, demonstrating its great power and potential for resolving more and more challenging physical problems in science and engineering covering a wide range of disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, material science and image analysis. The LBM is implemented through the two routine steps of streaming and collision using the three parameters of the lattice size, particle speed and collision operator. A fundamental question is if the two steps are integral to the method or if the three parameters can be reduced to one for a minimal lattice Boltzmann method. In this paper, it is shown that the collision step can be removed and the standard LBM can be reformulated into a simple macroscopic lattice Boltzmann method (MacLAB). This model relies on macroscopic physical variables only and is completely defined by one basic parameter of the lattice size δx, bringing the LBM into a precise “lattice” Boltzmann method. The viscous effect on flows is naturally embedded through the particle speed, making it an ideal automatic simulator for fluid flows. Three additional advantages compared to the existing LBMs are that: (i) physical variables can directly be retained as the boundary conditions; (ii) much less computational memory is required; and (iii) the model is unconditionally stable. The findings are demonstrated and confirmed with numerical tests including flows that are independent of and dependent on fluid viscosity, 2D and 3D cavity flows and an unsteady Taylor–Green vortex flow. This provides an efficient and powerful model for resolving physical problems in various disciplines of science and engineering.

Abstract:
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been proved to be a useful tool in many areas of computational fluid dynamics, including computational aero-acoustics (CAA). However, for historical reasons, its applications in CAA have been largely restricted to simulations of isothermal (Newtonian) sound waves. As the recent kinetic theory-based reformulation establishes a theoretical framework in which LBM can be extended to recover the full Navier–Stokes–Fourier (NS) equations and beyond, in this paper, we show that, at least at the low-frequency limit (sound frequency much less than molecular collision frequency), adiabatic sound waves can be accurately simulated by the LBM provided that the lattice and the distribution function ensure adequate recovery of the full NS equations.

Abstract:
We devise a lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for a matrix-valued quantum Boltzmann equation, with the classical Maxwell distribution replaced by Fermi–Dirac functions. To accommodate the spin density matrix, the distribution functions become 2 × 2 matrix-valued. From an analytic perspective, the efficient, commonly used BGK approximation of the collision operator is valid in the present setting. The numerical scheme could leverage the principles of LBM for simulating complex spin systems, with applications to spintronics.

Abstract:
We present a new hybrid method coupling the adaptive mesh refinement lattice Boltzmann method (AMRLBM) and the finite-volume lattice Boltzmann method (FVLBM) to improve both the simulation efficiency and adaptivity for steady incompressible flows with complex geometries. The present method makes use of the domain decomposition, in which the FVLBM sub-domain is applied to the region adjacent to the walls, and is coupled to the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) sub-domain in the rest of the flow field to enhance the ability of the LBM to deal with irregular geometries without sacrificing the high efficiency and accuracy property of the LBM. In the LBM sub-domain, a cell-centered lattice structure-based AMRLBM is used and, in the FVLBM sub-domain, the gas-kinetic Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook (BGK) scheme-based FVLBM is adopted to reduce the numerical dissipation and enhance the efficiency of FVLBM. Moreover, not like the conventional LBM and Navier–Stokes equation solver-based hybrid schemes, the present hybrid scheme combines two kinds of lattice Boltzmann equation solvers, that is, AMRLBM and FVLBM, which makes the present scheme much simpler and better consistency than the conventional hybrid schemes. To assess the accuracy and efficacy of the proposed method, various benchmark studies, including the Kovasznay flow, the lid-driven cavity flow with Reynolds number [Formula: see text], 400, and 1000, and the steady flow past a cylinder with [Formula: see text] and 40, are also conducted. The numerical results show that the present scheme can be an efficient and reliable method for steady incompressible flows.

Abstract:
AbstractA genuine finite volume method based on the lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) for nearly incompressible flows is developed. The proposed finite volume lattice Boltzmann method (FV-LBM) is grid-transparent, i.e., it requires no knowledge of cell topology, thus it can be implemented on arbitrary unstructured meshes for effective and efficient treatment of complex geometries. Due to the linear advection term in the LBE, it is easy to construct multi-dimensional schemes. In addition, inviscid and viscous fluxes are computed in one step in the LBE, as opposed to in two separate steps for the traditional finite-volume discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations. Because of its conservation constraints, the collision term of the kinetic equation can be treated implicitly without linearization or any other approximation, thus the computational efficiency is enhanced. The collision with multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) model is used in the LBE. The developed FV-LBM is of second-order convergence. The proposed FV-LBM is validated with three test cases in two-dimensions: (a) the Poiseuille flow driven by a constant body force; (b) the Blasius boundary layer; and (c) the steady flow past a cylinder at the Reynolds numbers Re=10, 20, and 40. The results verify the designed accuracy and efficacy of the proposed FV-LBM.

Abstract:
The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is a numerical method developed in recent decades. It has the characteristics of high parallel efficiency and simple boundary processing. The basic idea is to construct a simplified dynamic model so that the macroscopic behavior of the model is the same as the macroscopic equation. From the perspective of micro-dynamics, LBM treats macro-physical quantities as micro-quantities to obtain results by statistical averaging. The Finite-difference LBM (FDLBM) is a new numerical method developed based on LBM. The first finite-difference LBE (FDLBE) was perhaps due to Tamura and Akinori and was examined by Cao et al. in more detail. Finite-difference LBM was further extended to curvilinear coordinates with nonuniform grids by Mei and Shyy. By improving the FDLBE proposed by Mei and Shyy, a new finite difference LBM is obtained in the paper. In the model, the collision term is treated implicitly, just as done in the Mei-Shyy model. However, by introducing another distribution function based on the earlier distribution function， the implicitness of the discrete scheme is eliminated, and a simple explicit scheme is finally obtained, such as the standard LBE. Furthermore, this trick for the FDLBE can also be easily used to develop more efficient FVLBE and FELBE schemes. To verify the correctness and feasibility of this improved FDLBM model, which is used to calculate the square cavity model, and the calculated results are compared with the data of the classic square cavity model. The comparison result includes two items: the velocity on the centerline of the square cavity and the position of the vortex center in the square cavity. The simulation results of FDLBM are very consistent with the data in the literature. When Re=400, the velocity profiles of u and v on the centerline of the square cavity are consistent with the data results in Ghia's paper, and the vortex center position in the square cavity is also almost the same as the data results in Ghia's paper. Therefore, the verification of FDLBM is successful and FDLBM is feasible. This improved method can also serve as a reference for subsequent research.

Abstract:
The hydrodynamic force (HF) evaluation plays a critical role in the numerical simulation of fluid–structure interaction (FSI). By directly using the distribution functions of lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) to evaluate the HF, the momentum exchange algorithm (MEA) has excellent features. Particularly, it is independent of boundary geometry and avoids integration on the complex boundary. In this work, the HF of lattice Boltzmann simulation (LBS) is evaluated by using the MEA. We conduct a comparative study to evaluate two lattice Boltzmann models for constructing the flow solvers, including the LBE with single-relaxation-time (SRT) and multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) collision operators. The second-order boundary condition schemes are used to address the curve boundary. The test case of flow past a cylinder asymmetrically placed in a channel is simulated. Comparing the numerical solutions of Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) with those of Navier–Stokes equations in the literature, the influence of collision relaxation model, boundary conditions and lattice resolution is investigated. The results demonstrate that the MRT-LB improves the numerical stability of the LBM and the accuracy of HF.

Communications in Computational Physics 18, no. 3 (September 2015): 593–620. http://dx.doi.org/10.4208/cicp.300514.160115a.
Abstract:
AbstractA three-dimensional (3D) lattice Boltzmann flux solver (LBFS) is presented in this paper for the simulation of both isothermal and thermal flows. The present solver combines the advantages of conventional Navier-Stokes (N-S) solvers and lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) solvers. It applies the finite volume method (FVM) to solve the N-S equations. Different from the conventional N-S solvers, its viscous and inviscid fluxes at the cell interface are evaluated simultaneously by local reconstruction of LBE solution. As compared to the conventional LBE solvers, which apply the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) globally in the whole computational domain, it only applies LBM locally at each cell interface, and flow variables at cell centers are given from the solution of N-S equations. Since LBM is only applied locally in the 3D LBFS, the drawbacks of the conventional LBM, such as limitation to uniform mesh, tie-up of mesh spacing and time step, tedious implementation of boundary conditions, are completely removed. The accuracy, efficiency and stability of the proposed solver are examined in detail by simulating plane Poiseuille flow, lid-driven cavity flow and natural convection. Numerical results show that the LBFS has a second order of accuracy in space. The efficiency of the LBFS is lower than LBM on the same grids. However, the LBFS needs very less non-uniform grids to get grid-independence results and its efficiency can be greatly improved and even much higher than LBM. In addition, the LBFS is more stable and robust.

Abstract:
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is a relatively new computational method to model fluid flows by tracking collision, advection, and propagation of mesoscopic fluid particles. LBM originated from the cellular automata combined with kinetic theory and the Boltzmann equation. The method is used to solve the explicit finite-difference scheme lattice Boltzmann equations which are second order in space and first order in time. LBM does not attempt to solve the Navier–Stokes equations directly; however, it obeys the equations. The two-dimensional flows around square and circular cylinders are simulated with uniform and nonuniform grid structures using the LBM. The boundary layer growth and wake region physics are captured with small-scale details, and the results are validated by comparison with laboratory experiments for the Reynolds numbers between 50 and 350. Compatibility of the method in simulating flow around hydrofoil geometries and a combination of objects is also provided.

Abstract:
This paper reports a study of the ability of an improved LBM in replicating acoustic interaction. With a BGK model with two relaxation times approximating the collison term, the improved LBM is shown not only able to recover the equation of state, but also replicates the specific heat ratio, the fluid viscosity and thermal conductivity correctly. With these improvements, the recovery of full set of unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes equations is possible. Two complex aeroacoustic interaction problems, namely the interaction of three fundamental aeroacoustic pulses and scattering of short wave by a zero circulation vortex, are calculated. The LBM solutions are compared with DNS results. In the first case it has been shown that the improved LBM is as effective as the DNS in simulating aeroacoustic interaction of three pulses. Both methods obtain essentially same results using same truncated domains. In the scattering problem, LBM is able to replicate the directivity of scattered acoustic wave from the vortex but it does not accurately reproduce the symmetry as calculated using DNS.

Abstract:

The proposed LB-LES method combines several advantages of LBM and LES including clear physical pictures, easy implementation and capacity to describe turbulence structures of high Renolds fluid, it also can settle the problem that LBM cant converge of high Renolds. Simulation result shows: (1) Strong vortex exist around the spray cone and head of the spray; (2) A high fuel density regime exits inside the head of spray, that verifies the experiment result of American APS laboratory with the application of avalanche photodiode (APD) X-ray imaging technology to spray field; (3) LB-LES method can simulate the surface undulation phenomenon of spray which is generated by the aerodynamic force in the case of high Renolds.

Abstract:
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has two key steps: collision and streaming. In a conventional LBM, the streaming is exact, where each distribution function is perfectly shifted to the neighbor node on the uniform mesh arrangement. This advantage may curtail the applicability of the method to problems with complex geometries. To overcome this issue, a high-order meshless interpolation-based approach is proposed to handle the streaming step. Owing to its high accuracy, the radial basis function (RBF) is one of the popular methods used for interpolation. In general, RBF-based approaches suffer from some stability issues, where their stability strongly depends on the shape parameter of the RBF. In the current work, a stabilized RBF approach is used to handle the streaming. The stabilized RBF approach has a weak dependency on the shape parameter, which improves the stability of the method and reduces the dependency of the shape parameter. Both the stabilized RBF method and the streaming of the LBM are used for solving three benchmark problems. The results of the stabilized method and the perfect streaming LBM are compared with analytical solutions or published results. Excellent agreements are observed, with a little advantage for the stabilized approach. Additionally, the computational cost is compared, where a marginal difference is observed in the favor of the streaming of the LBM. In conclusion, one could report that the stabilized method is a viable alternative to the streaming of the LBM in handling both simple and complex geometries.

Abstract:
This article provides numerically study of the multi-relaxation time thermal lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for compute the flow and isotherm characteristics in the bottom heated cavity located o n a floor of horizontal channel . A double-distribution function (DFF) was coupled with MRT thermal LBM to study the effects of various grashof number (Gr), Reynolds number (Re) and Aspect Ratio (AR) on the flow and isotherm characteristic. The results we re compared with the conventional single-relaxation time lattice Boltzmann scheme and benchmark solution for such flow configuration. The results of the numer ical simulation indicate that multi-relaxation time thermal lattice Boltzmann scheme demonstrated good agreement, which supports its validity in computing fluid flow problem.

Abstract:
We explore a novel simulation route for Plasma Wakefield Acceleration (PWFA) by using the computational method known as the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). LBM is based on a discretization of the continuum kinetic theory while assuring the convergence toward hydrodynamics for coarse-grained fields (i.e., density, velocity, etc.). LBM is an established numerical analysis tool in computational fluid dynamics, able to efficiently bridge between kinetic theory and hydrodynamics, but its application in the context of PWFA has never been investigated so far. This paper takes a step forward to fill this gap. Results of LBM simulations for PWFA are discussed and compared with those of a code (Architect) implementing a Cold Fluid (CF) model for the plasma. In the hydrodynamic framework, we discuss the importance of regularization effects related to diffusion properties intrinsic of the LBM, allowing to go beyond the CF approximations. Issues on computational efficiency are also addressed.

Abstract:
This work presents a novel method for simulating the behavior of solid objects with the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). To introduce and validate our proposed framework, comparative studies are performed for computing the static equilibrium of isotropic materials. Remembering that the LBM has strong theoretical foundations in the Boltzmann equation; this latter is firstly adjusted to solid motions, through its Boltzmann-Vlasov special case. This is indeed the case when combined with a suitable mean-field external force term to set a reliable solid framework. Secondly, a library is built and plugged on the top of the well-known Parallel Lattice Boltzmann Solver (PaLaBoS) library. Numerical implementations based on the previous equation of motion for solids are led in a non-intrusive manner so as to present results with an easy and flawless reproducibility. A newly designed Lattice Boltzmann Method for Solids (LBMS) is exhibited through a few key algorithms, showing the overall operation plus the major improvements. Efficiency, robustness and accuracy of the proposed approach are illustrated and contrasted with a commercial Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software. The obtained results reveal considerable potential concerning static and further dynamic simulations involving solid constitutive laws within the LBM formalism.

Abstract:
Particle–fluid flows are ubiquitous in nature and industry. Understanding the dynamic behaviour of these complex flows becomes a rapidly developing interdisciplinary research focus. In this work, a numerical modelling approach for complex particle–fluid flows using the discrete element method coupled with the lattice Boltzmann method (DEM-LBM) is presented. The discrete element method and the lattice Boltzmann method, as well as the coupling techniques, are discussed in detail. The DEM-LBM is thoroughly validated for typical benchmark cases: the single-phase Poiseuille flow, the gravitational settling and the drag force on a fixed particle. In order to demonstrate the potential and applicability of DEM-LBM, three case studies are performed, which include the inertial migration of dense particle suspensions, the agglomeration of adhesive particle flows in channel flow and the sedimentation of particles in cavity flow. It is shown that DEM-LBM is a robust numerical approach for analysing complex particle–fluid flows.

Abstract:
AbstractA robust immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM) is proposed to simulate fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems in this work. Compared with the conventional IB-LBM, the current method employs the fractional step technique to solve the lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) with a forcing term. Consequently, the non-physical oscillation of body force calculation, which is frequently encountered in the traditional IB-LBM, is suppressed greatly. It is of importance for the simulation of FSI problems. In the meanwhile, the no-slip boundary condition is strictly satisfied by using the velocity correction scheme. Moreover, based on the relationship between the velocity correction and forcing term, the boundary force can be calculated accurately and easily. A few test cases are first performed to validate the current method. Subsequently, a series of FSI problems, including the vortex-induced vibration of a circular cylinder, an elastic filament flapping in the wake of a fixed cylinder and sedimentation of particles, are simulated. Based on the good agreement between the current results and those in the literature, it is demonstrated that the proposed IB-LBM has the capability to handle various FSI problems effectively.

Abstract:
A prototype of a three-dimensional (3-D) radiation model is developed using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and implemented on a graphical processing unit (GPU) to accelerate the model’s computational speed. This radiative transfer-lattice Boltzmann model (RT-LBM) results from a discretization of the radiative transfer equation in time, space, and solid angle. The collision and streaming computation algorithm, widely used in LBM for fluid flow modeling, is applied to speed up the RT-LBM computation on the GPU platform. The isotropic scattering is assumed in this study. The accuracy is evaluated using Monte Carlo method (MCM) simulations, showing RT-LBM is quite accurate when typical atmospheric coefficients of scattering and absorption are used. RT-LBM runs about 10 times faster than the MCM in a same CPU. When implemented on a NVidia Tesla V100 GPU in simulation with a large number of computation grid points, for example, RT-LBM runs ~120 times faster than running on a single CPU. The test results indicate RT-LBM is an accurate and fast model and is viable for simulating radiative transfer in the atmosphere with ranges for the isotropic atmosphere radiative parameters of albedo scattering (0.1~0.9) and optical depth (0.1~12).

Abstract:
In order to promote the use of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for the simulation of isotropic groundwater flow in a confined aquifer with arbitrary geometry, Poisson's equation was transformed into a curvilinear coordinate system. With the metric function between the physical and the computational domain established, Poisson's equation written in Cartesian coordinates was transformed in curvilinear coordinates. Following, the appropriate equilibrium function for the D2Q9 square lattice has been defined. The resulting curvilinear formulation of the LBM for groundwater flow is capable of modeling flow in domains of complex geometry with the opportunity of local refining/coarsening of the computational mesh corresponding to the complexity of the flow pattern and the required accuracy. Since the proposed form of the LBM uses the transformed equation of flow implemented in the equilibrium function, finding a solution does not require supplementary procedures along the curvilinear boundaries, nor in the zones requiring mesh density adjustments. Thus, the basic concept of the LBM is completely maintained. The improvement of the proposed LBM over the previously published classical methods is completely verified by three examples with analytical solutions. The results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed curvilinear LBM in modeling groundwater flow in complex flow domains.

Abstract:
The present study developed a shape optimization method using adjoint sensitivity analysis based on lattice Boltzmann method to suppress aerodynamically sound generation around bluff bodies. In this method, flow and acoustic fields are directly simulated using the lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) with an athermal model under low-Mach-number conditions. The sensitivities of far-field sounds to numerous design variables that define an object shape can be evaluated by solving the adjoint equation, which is derived from the LBE. The adjoint equation can be computed easily and efficiently, similar to the LBM. The proposed method was applied to the cylinder Aeolian tone, and the cylinder shape was optimized.

Abstract:
Biofilms are a complex and heterogeneous aggregation of multiple populations of microorganisms linked together by their excretion of extracellular polymer substances (EPS). Biofilms can cause many serious problems, such as chronic infections, food contamination and equipment corrosion, although they can be useful for constructive purposes, such as in wastewater treatment, heavy metal removal from hazardous waste sites, biofuel production, power generation through microbial fuel cells and microbially enhanced oil recovery; however, biofilm formation and growth are complex due to interactions among physicochemical and biological processes under operational and environmental conditions. Advanced numerical modeling techniques using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) are enabling the prediction of biofilm formation and growth and microbial community structures. This study is the first attempt to perform a general review on major contributions to LBM-based biofilm models, ranging from pioneering efforts to more recent progress. We present our understanding of the modeling of biofilm formation, growth and detachment using LBM-based models and present the fundamental aspects of various LBM-based biofilm models. We describe how the LBM couples with cellular automata (CA) and individual-based model (IbM) approaches and discuss their applications in assessing the spatiotemporal distribution of biofilms and their associated parameters and evaluating bioconversion efficiency. Finally, we discuss the main features and drawbacks of LBM-based biofilm models from ecological and biotechnological perspectives and identify current knowledge gaps and future research priorities.

Abstract:
In this paper the ability of the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is investigated for simulating acoustic problems, especially for the propagation of acoustic waves in a wall bounded region. To treat the wall boundary conditions, a non-equilibrium extrapolation scheme for the LBM is adopted. LBM is next applied to simulate the complex aerodynamic noise generated from a square cylinder. In order to efficiently suppress the disturbances at the computational boundaries, the improved absorbing boundary condition (IABC) is developed in this paper. To validate the flow and acoustic solution of a square cylinder, comparisons between the present LBM and the previous studies are carried out. It is demonstrated that the LBM can efficiently simulate the noise generated from a square cylinder.

Abstract:
A general lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) to simulate filling process of high pressure die casting (HPDC) is investigated. Boundary conditions are studied and the free surface model is established by combine the LBM with VOF method. The final model was substantiated by simulating filling process in HPDC in three dimensions. The simulated results from LBM and finite difference method (FDM) were compared with the experiments. The results show the former is in a better agreement with experiments. It demonstrates the efficiency and precision of this LBM model in describing flow pattern in filling process.

Abstract:
Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has made great progress in the last decade, and its application became wider and wider. In this paper, based on our former combustion LBM model on the macroscale, we attempt to extend it into premixed microcombustion simulation. Considering the external heat losses in microcombustion, the second-order implicit scheme for boundary condition treatment was adopted in our LBM model. Numerical tests have proved that its accuracy and stability were suitable. Furthermore, planar microcombustion with backward-facing step was also studied in order to show its different performances and improvement, which are compared with microcombustor without back step.

Abstract:
A lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) based on nonuniform quadtree mesh is proposed. For the two steps in LBM, the collision step is a local procedure and can be implemented in the same way for both uniform and nonuniform mesh grids, while the streaming step is equivalent to solving several linear advection equations. On quadtree mesh (and some other nonuniform meshes), it is usually trivial to construct a first order interpolation scheme for the streaming step. Then the back and forth error compensation and correction (BFECC) method is employed to improve the accuracy order, such that a second order scheme is obtained in streaming step. Several numerical test cases are carried out to prove the accuracy and efficiency of our method.

We employ a recently formulated axisymmetric version of the multiphase Shan–Chen (SC) lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) [S. Srivastava et al., Phys. Rev. E88, 013309 (2013)] to simulate the contraction of a liquid ligament. We compare the axisymmetric LBM simulation against the slender jet (SJ) approximation model [T. Driessen and R. Jeurissen, Int. J. Comput. Fluid Dyn.25, 333 (2011)]. We compare the retraction dynamics of the tail-end of the liquid ligament from the LBM simulation, the SJ model, Flow3D simulations and a simple model based on the force balance (FB). We find good agreement between the theoretical prediction FB, the SJ model and the LBM simulations.

Abstract:
We present a vector-friendly blocked computing strategy for the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM).

The proposed methodology enables optimal memory bandwidth utilization in the advection step and high compute efficiency in the collision step of LB implementation. In a dense computing environment, current performance optimization framework for LBM is able to achieve high single-core efficiency.

Abstract:
We propose a new hybrid simulation method to model burning solid interactions. Unlike gas fuel, fire and smoke interactions that have been relatively well studied in the past, simulations of solid fuel combustion processes remain largely unaddressed. These include pyrolysis/smoldering, interactions with oxygen and flow inside porous solid. To advance this simulation problem, we designed a new hybrid of the Lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM) and a Eulerian grid based Navier-Stokes equation (NSE). It uses the LBM, which has symmetrical directions of particle velocities in a cell, for inside the solid fuel and the NSE, which has a representative velocity in a cell, for outside the solid. At the interface where the two methods join, we develop a novel method to exchange physical quantities and show a natural transition between the two methods. Since LBM allows us to directly manage the quantity of exchanges from the microscopic perspective, that is, between lattice points, we can easily simulate the burning speed and the shape change of burning an inhomogeneous solid. Also, we derive an LBM version of the previously proposed porous Navier-Stokes equation to simulate gas flow inside the porous solid. In addition, we use the NS solver outside the solid where macroscopic behavior is much more dominant and, hence, LBM is less efficient than NS solver. Our results show us the physical stability and accuracy and visual realism.

Abstract:
On the issue of interferogram filter in Interferomatric Synthetic Aperture Sonar(InSAS), P - M model based on partial differential equation (PDE) can not only remove noise effectively, but also better keep the interferogram details and edge information. But its computation efficiency is relatively low and it can not be parallelized to real-time processing. Aiming to overcome these shortcomings, a de-noising method based on lattice Boltzmann method(LBM) is introduced. Processing results of the simulation and real experimental data show that the interferogram filtering method based on LBM can de-noise more effectively, and its calculation efficiency is better. In view of it, LBM can be used for real-time processing.

Abstract:
An upscaled Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) for flow simulations in heterogeneous porous media at the Darcy scale is proposed in this paper. In the Darcy-scale simulations, the Shan-Chen force model is used to simplify the algorithm. The proposed upscaled LBM uses coarser grids to represent the average effects of the fine-grid simulations. In the upscaled LBM, each coarse grid represents a subdomain of the fine-grid discretization and the effective permeability with the reduced-order models is proposed as we coarsen the grid. The effective permeability is computed using solutions of local problems (e.g., by performing local LBM simulations on the fine grids using the original permeability distribution) and used on the coarse grids in the upscaled simulations. The upscaled LBM that can reduce the computational cost of existing LBM and transfer the information between different scales is implemented. The results of coarse-grid, reduced-order, simulations agree very well with averaged results obtained using a fine grid.

Abstract:
We compare the Lattice BGK, the Multiple Relaxation Times and the Entropic Lattice Boltzmann Methods for time harmonic flows. We measure the stability, speed and accuracy of the three models for Reynolds and Womersley numbers that are representative for human arteries. The Lattice BGK shows predictable stability and is the fastest method in terms of lattice node updates per second. The Multiple Relaxation Times LBM shows erratic stability which depends strongly on the relaxation times set chosen and is slightly slower. The Entropic LBM gives the best stability at the price of fewer lattice node updates per second. A parameter constraint optimization technique is used to determine which is the fastest model given a certain preset accuracy. It is found that the Lattice BGK performs best at most arterial flows, except for the high Reynolds number flow in the aorta, where the Entropic LBM is the fastest method due to its better stability. However we also conclude that the Entropic LBM with velocity/pressure inlet/outlet conditions shows much worse performance.

Abstract:
The main objective of this work is to develop a new approach based on the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to simulate the extrudate swell of an Oldroyd B viscoelatic fluid. Two lattice Boltzmann equations are used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations and constitutive equation simultaneously at each time iteration. The single LBM model is used to track the moving interface in this paper. To validate the accuracy and stability of this new scheme, we study the steady 2D Poiseuille flow firstly, finding the numerical results be in good accord with the analytical solution. Then the die-swell phenomenon is solved, we successfully acquire the different swelling state of an Oldroyd B fluid at different time.

Abstract:
Nuclear engineering requires computationally efficient methods to simulate different components and systems of plants. The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM), a numerical method with a mesoscopic approach to Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) derived from the Boltzmann equation and the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution, can be an adequate option. The purpose of this paper is to present a review of the recent applications of the Lattice Boltzmann Method in nuclear engineering research. A systematic literature review using three databases (Web of Science, Scopus, and ScienceDirect) was done, and the items found were categorized by the main research topics into computational fluid dynamics and neutronic applications. The features of the problem addressed, the characteristics of the numerical method, and some relevant conclusions of each study are resumed and presented. A total of 45 items (25 for computational fluid dynamics applications and 20 for neutronics) was found on a wide range of nuclear engineering problems, including thermal flow, turbulence mixing of coolant, sedimentation of impurities, neutron transport, criticality problem, and other relevant issues. The LBM results in being a flexible numerical method capable of integrating multiphysics and hybrid schemes, and is efficient for the inner parallelization of the algorithm that brings a widely applicable tool in nuclear engineering problems. Interest in the LBM applications in this field has been increasing and evolving from early stages to a mature form, as this review shows.

Abstract:
Purpose – The main purpose of this paper is to develop a novel thermal lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) based on finite volume (FV) formulation. Validation of the suggested formulation is performed by simulating plane Poiseuille, backward-facing step and flow over circular cylinder. Design/methodology/approach – For this purpose, a cell-centered scheme is used to discretize the convection operator and the double distribution function model is applied to describe the temperature field. To enhance stability, weighting factors are defined as flux correctors on a D2Q9 lattice. Findings – The introduction of pressure-temperature-dependent flux-control coefficients in the streaming operator, in conjunction with suitable boundary conditions, is shown to result in enhanced numerical stability of the scheme. In all cases, excellent agreement with the existing literature is found and shows that the presented method is a promising scheme in simulating thermo-hydrodynamic phenomena. Originality/value – A stable and accurate FV formulation of the thermal DDF-LBM is presented.

AbstractThe onset of cavitating conditions inside the nozzle of liquid injectors is known to play a major role on spray characteristics, especially on jet penetration and break-up. In this work, we present a Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) based on the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) to study the fluid dynamic field inside the nozzle of a cavitating injector. The formation of the cavitating region is determined via a multi-phase approach based on the Shan-Chen equation of state. The results obtained by the LBM simulation show satisfactory agreement with both numerical and experimental data. In addition, numerical evidence of bubble break-up, following upon flow-induced cavitation, is also reported.

Abstract:
Four different kinds of laminar flows between two parallel plates are investigated using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). The LBM accuracy is estimated in two cases using numerical fits of the parabolic velocity profiles and the kinetic energy decay curves, respectively. The error relative to the analytical kinematic viscosity values was found to be less than one percent in both cases. The LBM results for the unsteady development of the flow when one plate is brought suddenly at a constant velocity, are found in excellent agreement with the analytical solution. Because the classical Schlichting’s approximate solution for the entrance-region flow is not valid for small Reynolds numbers, a Finite Element Method solution was used in order to check the accuracy of the LBM results in this case.

Abstract:
Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is utilized to model the acoustic resistance in microchannels at mesoscopic scale in this paper. Sound pressure distribution at different positions are studied. A number of physical parameters, such as the wavelength, channel number, channel width and length are investigated to find their effects on pressure variation. Simulation results are compared with those obtained by traditional methods and demonstrate that the LBM is a helpful approach to study sound attenuation in microchannels at mesoscopic scale. These results have potential application for designing the high-efficiency sound absorbers.

Abstract:
Abstract An adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) technique based on nodal linked-list data structure for lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is proposed in this paper. It makes connections between nodal linked-list data structure which is hierarchical and LBM calculation to retain the simplicity of LBM. Based on uniform meshes, the adaptive algorithm refines the meshes by constructing the linked-list of nodes and levels for mesh levels refined. In the nodal linked-list data structure, the relationships for nodal neighbors and upper and lower level indexes of nodes are appointed to help implement the LBM process in the different mesh levels. To guarantee precise transmission of flow field information and numerical stability in the different mesh levels, the average interpolation for temporal and spatial space is used, which chimes in with the accuracy of LBM itself. To verify the present method, flows over square cylinder at Re=30 and circle cylinder at Re=200 are carried out.

Abstract:
The paper presents a synthetic turbulence generator (STG) for the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) at the interface of the Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations and the LBM large eddy simulation (LES). We first obtain the RANS velocity field from a finite volume solver at the interface. Then, we apply a numerical interpolation from the RANS velocity field to the LBM velocity field due to the different grid types of RANS and LBM. The STG method generates the velocity fluctuations, and the regularized LBM reconstructs the particle distribution functions at the interface. We perform a turbulent channel flow simulation at [Formula: see text] with the STG at the inlet and the pressure-free boundary condition at the outlet. The velocity field is quantitatively compared with the periodic lattice Boltzmann based LES (LES-LBM) channel flow and the direct numerical simulation (DNS) channel flow. Both the adaptation length and time for the STG method are evaluated. Also, we compare the STG-LBM channel flow results with the existing LBM synthetic eddy method (SEM-LBM) results. Our numerical investigations show good agreement with the DNS and periodic LES-LBM channel flow within a short adaptation length. The adaptation time for the turbulent channel flow is quantitatively analyzed and matches the DNS around 1.5–3 domain flow-through time. Finally, we check the auto-correlation for the velocity components at different cross sections of the streamwise direction. The proposed STG-LBM is observed to be both fast and robust. The findings show good potential for the hybrid RANS/LES-LBM based solver on the aerodynamics simulations and a broad spectrum of engineering applications.

Numerical verification of fundamental properties of thermal fluids, including thermal conductivity and surface tension, agrees well with theoretical predictions. Direct numerical simulations of two-phase phenomena, including phase-transition, bubble deformation and droplet falling and bubble rising under gravity are carried out, demonstrating the applicability of the model.

Numerical simulations are performed to study the flow characteristic of laminar confined impinging streams using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). The velocity distributions for different flow conditions and geometric configurations are presented. By examination of the contours for the velocity magnitude, the size of the impingement zone is measured out for the first time. It is found that both the inlet jet Reynolds number and the geometry of the system have effects on the size of the impingement zone. Simulation results demonstrated that LBM is a potentially reliable computational tool for simulations of impinging streams.

Abstract:
Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) simulations provide an excellent description of two-phase flow through porous media. However, such simulations require a significant computation time. In order to optimize the computation resources, we propose a hybrid model that combines the efficiency of the pore-network approach and the accuracy of the lattice Boltzmann method at the pore scale. The hybrid model is based on the decomposition of the granular assembly into small subsets, in which LBM simulations are performed to determine the main hydrostatic properties (entry capillary pressure, capillary pressure - liquid content relationship and liquid morphology for each pore throat). A primary drainage of a random packing of spheres is presented and contrasted to the results of the same problem fully resolved by the LBM. Liquid morphology and invasion paths are correctly reproduced by the hybrid method.
