The OpenLB project: an open source and object oriented implementation of lattice Boltzmann methods
نویسنده
چکیده
The OpenLB project aims at setting up an open source implementation of lattice Boltzmann methods in an object oriented framework. The code, which is written in C++, is intended to be used both by application programmers and by developers who may add their own particular dynamics. It supports advanced data structures that take into account complex geometries and parallel program executions. The programming concepts rely strongly on dynamic genericity through the use of object oriented interfaces as well as static genericity by means of templates. This design allows a straightforward and intuitive implementation of lattice Boltzmann models with almost no loss of efficiency. The aim of this paper is to introduce the OpenLB project and to depict the underlying structure leading to a powerful development tool for lattice Boltzmann methods.

A Comparative Solution of Natural Convection in an Open Cavity using Different Boundary Conditions via Lattice Boltzmann Method
A Lattice Boltzmann method is applied to demonstrate the comparison results of simulating natural convection in an open end cavity using different hydrodynamic and thermal boundary conditions. The Prandtl number in the present simulation is 0.71, Rayleigh numbers are 104,105 and 106 and viscosities are selected 0.02 and 0.05. On-Grid bounce-back method with first-order accuracy and non-slip met...

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...

In the present study, commonly used weakly compressible lattice Boltzmann method and Guo incompressible lattice Boltzmann method have been used to simulate fluid flow in a stirred tank. For this purpose a 3D Parallel code has been developed in the framework of the lattice Boltzmann method. This program has been used for simulation of flow at different geometries such as 2D channel fluid flow an...
