Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of High-Frequency Flows: Electromechanical Resonators in Gaseous Media

چکیده
In this work, we employ a kinetic theory based approach to predict the hydrodynamic forces on electromechanical resonators operating in gaseous media. Using the Boltzmann-BGK equation, we investigate the influence of the resonator geometry on the fluid resistance in the entire range of nondimensional frequency variation 0 ≤ τω ≤ ∞; here the fluid relaxation time τ = μ/p is determined by the gas viscosity μ and pressure p at thermodynamic equilibrium, and ω is the (angular) oscillation frequency. Our results support the experimentally observed transition from viscous to viscoelastic flow in simple gases at τω ≈ 1. They are also in remarkable agreement with the measured geometric effects in resonators in a broad linear dimension, frequency, and pressure range.

In this paper, implementation of an extended form of a no-slip wall boundary condition is presented for the three-dimensional (3-D) lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for solving the incompressible fluid flows with complex geometries. The boundary condition is based on the off-lattice scheme with a polynomial interpolation which is used to reconstruct the curved or irregular wall boundary on the ne...

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.
