FreeWiHR — LBM with Free Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metal foams are interesting as lightweight materials that have an excellent combination of mechanical, thermal, and acoustic properties. However, the production process is currently not fully understood. Therefore, the goal of the FreeWiHR project is the development and high performance implementation of a model for simulating the formation process of metal foams based on the lattice Boltzmann method.

Multiple Liquid Bridges with Non-Smooth Interfaces
We consider a coexistence of two axisymmetric liquid bridges LBi and LBm of two immiscible liquids i and m which are immersed in a third liquid (or gas) e and trapped between two smooth solid bodies with axisymmetric surfaces S1, S2 and free contact lines. Evolution of liquid bridges allows two different configurations of LBi and LBm with multiple (five or three) interfaces of non-smooth shape....
متن کاملParallel Lattice Boltzmann Methods for CFD Applications
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has evolved to a promising alternative to the well-established methods based on finite elements/volumes for computational fluid dynamics simulations. Ease of implementation, extensibility, and computational efficiency are the major reasons for LBM’s growing field of application and increasing popularity. In this paper we give a brief introduction to the involv...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Microscopic Multiphase Fluid Motion on Solid Surface Using Diffuse-interface Approach
In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of fluid-particle motion on flat and textured solid surfaces with homogeneous or heterogeneous wettability are conducted by using a diffuse-interface tracking method [1, 2] for better understanding microscopic multiphase fluid flow phenomena in various scientific and engineering fields. The CFD method employs phase-field model (PFM) ...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of mixed convection heat transfer of nanofluid in an inclined enclosure by applying LBM
Mixed convection of Cu-Water nanofluid is studied numerically in a shallow inclined enclosure by applying lattice Boltzmann method. The D2Q9 lattice and internal energy distribution function based on the BGK collision operator are used in order to develop the thermal flow field. The enclosure's hot lid has the constant velocity of U0 while its cold lower wall has no motion. Moreover, sidewalls ...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of microflow over superhydrophobic surfaces by lattice Boltmann method
The superhydrophobicity of a microchannel is determined by not only the wettability of channel wall but also the surface topography. Recent experiments have found that superhrydrophobic surfaces can be achieved by pattering roughness on hydrophobic surfaces. In this paper, the dynamics of two-phase flow in microchannel with different wettability and topography is studied numerically by the latt...
