Lattice-Boltzmann-based two-phase thermal model for simulating phase change

Lattice-Boltzmann-based two-phase thermal model for simulating phase change.

A lattice Boltzmann (LB) method is presented for solving the energy conservation equation in two phases when the phase change effects are included in the model. This approach employs multiple distribution functions, one for a pseudotemperature scalar variable and the rest for the various species. A nonideal equation of state (EOS) is introduced by using a pseudopotential LB model. The evolution...

Multirelaxation-time interaction-potential-based lattice Boltzmann model for two-phase flow.

The application of the lattice Boltzmann method in two-phase flows is often restricted by the numerical instability at low viscosities. In this work, a multirelaxation-time (MRT) lattice Boltzmann model (LBM) is developed using the interaction potential approach. With the MRT collision term and a general force term, the new MRT model is able to significantly enhance the numerical stability at l...

Conservative phase-field lattice Boltzmann model for interface tracking equation.

Based on the phase-field theory, we propose a conservative lattice Boltzmann method to track the interface between two different fluids. The presented model recovers the conservative phase-field equation and conserves mass locally and globally. Two entirely different approaches are used to calculate the gradient of the phase field, which is needed in computation of the normal to the interface. ...

Double MRT thermal lattice Boltzmann method for simulating convective flows

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t A two-dimensional double Multiple Relaxation Time-Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Equation (2-MRT-TLBE) method is developed for predicting convective flows in a square differentially heated cavity filled with air (Pr = 0.71). In this Letter, we propose a numerical scheme to solve the flow and the temperature fields using the MRT-D2Q9 model and the MRT-D2Q5 model,...
