چکیده

In this paper, a gas-kinetic Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) model is constructed for the Rayleigh-Bénard thermal convection in the incompressible flow limit, where the flow field and temperature field are described by two coupled BGK models. Since the collision times in the corresponding BGK models can be different, the Prandtl number can be changed to any value instead of a fixed Pr=1 in the original BGK model [P. L. Bhatnagar, E. P. Gross, and M. Krook, Phys. Rev. 94, 511 (1954)]. The two-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard thermal convection is studied and numerical results are compared with theoretical ones as well as other simulation results.

Rayleigh-Bénard Simulation using Gas-kinetic BGK Scheme in the Incompressible Limit

In this paper, a gas-kinetic BGK model is constructed for the Rayleigh-Bénard thermal convection in the incompressible flow limit, where the flow field and temperature field are described by two coupled BGK models. Since the collision times and pseudo-temperature in the corresponding BGK models can be different, the Prandtl number can be changed to any value instead of a fixed Pr = 1 in the ori...

Nonequilibrium Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook model for nitrogen shock structure

This Brief Communication is about the study of diatomic gas shock structure based on the nonequilibrium gas-kinetic Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook (BGK) model, where an additional rotational energy relaxation equation is added. The BGK Navier–Stokes flow solver is extended to solve the nonequilibrium gas kinetic model. The numerical solutions are compared with the experiment measurements and direct simu...

An immersed-boundary method for compressible viscous flow and its application in gas-kinetic BGK scheme

An immersed-boundary (IB) method is proposed and applied in the gas-kinetic BGK scheme to simulate incompressible/compressible viscous flow with stationary/moving boundary. In present method the ghost-cell technique is adopted to fulfill the boundary condition on the immersed boundary. A novel idea “local boundary determination” is put forward to identify the ghost cells, each of which may have...

Gas-kinetic scheme for rarefied flow simulation

For increasingly rarefied flowfields, the predictions from continuum formulation, such as the Navier–Stokes equations lose accuracy. These inaccuracies are attributed primarily to the linear approximations of the stress and heat flux terms in the Navier– Stokes equations. The inclusion of higher order terms, such as Burnett, or high-order moment equations, could improve the predictive capabilit...

Lattice Boltzmann scheme for mixture modeling: analysis of the continuum diffusion regimes recovering Maxwell-Stefan model and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.

A finite difference lattice Boltzmann scheme for homogeneous mixture modeling, which recovers Maxwell-Stefan diffusion model in the continuum limit, without the restriction of the mixture-averaged diffusion approximation, was recently proposed [P. Asinari, Phys. Rev. E 77, 056706 (2008)]. The theoretical basis is the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook-type kinetic model for gas mixtures [P. Andries, K. Aoki...
