Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the EGM method and the behavior of a solid particle suspended in a twodimensional rectangular cavity due to conjugate natural convection. A thermal lattice Boltzmann BGK model is implemented to simulate the two dimensional natural convection and the particle phase was modeled using the Lagrangian–Lagrangian approach where the solid particles are treated as points moving in the computational domain as a result of the fluid motion. Entropy generation due to heat transfer irreversibility, isotherms, streamlines and Nusselt numbers were obtained and discussed. Total entropy generations in various cases are also reported and optimum case is presented based on minimum entropy generation.

Lattice Boltzmann simulations of a time-dependent natural convection problem

A two-dimensional double Multiple-Relaxation-Time thermal lattice Boltzmann method is used to simulate natural convection flows in differentially heated cavities. The buoyancy effects are considered under the Boussinesq assumption. Flow and temperature fields are respectively solved with nine and five discrete velocities models. Boundary conditions are implemented with the classical bounce-back...

Simulation of Rayleigh-Bénard convection using lattice Boltzmann method

Rayleigh-Bénard convection is numerically simulated in twoand three-dimensions using a recently developed two-component lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) method. The density field of the second component, which evolves according to the advection-diffusion equation of a passive-scalar, is used to simulate the temperature field. A body force proportional to the temperature is applied, and the syst...

Simulation of high Rayleigh number natural convection in a square cavity using the lattice Boltzmann method

A thermal lattice Boltzmann method based on the BGK model has been used to simulate high Rayleigh number natural convection in a square cavity. The model uses the double populations approach to simulate hydrodynamic and thermal fields. The traditional lattice Boltzmann method on a uniform grid has unreasonably high grid requirements at higher Rayleigh numbers which renders the method impractica...
