A priori derivation of the lattice Boltzmann equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The lattice Boltzmann equation ~LBE! is directly derived from the Boltzmann equation by discretization in both time and phase space. A procedure to systematically derive discrete velocity models is presented. A LBE algorithm with arbitrary mesh grids is proposed and a numerical simulation of the backward-facing step is conducted. The numerical result agrees well with experimental and previous numerical results. Various improvements on the LBE models are discussed, and an explanation of the instability of the existing LBE thermal models is also provided. @S1063-651X~97!51106-8#

Theory of the lattice boltzmann method: lattice boltzmann models for nonideal gases
In this paper a procedure for systematic a priori derivation of the lattice Boltzmann models for nonideal gases from the Enskog equation (the modified Boltzmann equation for dense gases) is presented. This treatment provides a unified theory of lattice Boltzmann models for nonideal gases. The lattice Boltzmann equation is systematically obtained by discretizing the Enskog equation in phase spac...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Fluid Flow Past a Square Cylinder Using a Lattice Boltzmann Method
The method of lattice boltzmann equation(LBE) is a kinetic-based approach for fluid flow computations. In the last decade, minimal kinetic models, and primarily the LBE, have met with significant success in the simulation of complex hydrodynamic phenomena, ranging from slow flows in grossly irregular geometries to fully developed turbulence, to flow with dynamic phase transitions. In the presen...

A new derivation of the quantum Boltzmann transport equation for the Fermion system from the quantum time evolution equation for the wigner distribution function is presented. The method exhibits the origin of the time - irreversibility of the Boltzmann equation. In the present work, the spin dependent and indistinguishibility of particles are also considered.
متن کاملExternal and Internal Incompressible Viscous Flows Computation using Taylor Series Expansion and Least Square based Lattice Boltzmann Method
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has recently become an alternative and promising computational fluid dynamics approach for simulating complex fluid flows. Despite its enormous success in many practical applications, the standard LBM is restricted to the lattice uniformity in the physical space. This is the main drawback of the standard LBM for flow problems with complex geometry. Several app...
