A thorough study of shear stress within the lattice Boltzmann method is provided. Via standard multiscale Chapman-Enskog expansion we investigate the dependence of the error in shear stress on grid resolution showing that the shear stress obtained by the lattice Boltzmann method is second-order accurate. This convergence, however, is usually spoiled by the boundary conditions. It is also invest...

Lifting operators play an important role in starting a kinetic Boltzmann model from given macroscopic information. The macroscopic variables need to be mapped to the distribution functions, mesoscopic variables of the Boltzmann model. A well-known numerical method for the initialization of Boltzmann models is the Constrained Runs algorithm. This algorithm is used in literature for the initializ...

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 ...

In this paper, the lattice vehicular model, which is in the form the lattice Boltzmann equation is directly derived from the Boltzmann equation. It is shown that the lattice Boltzmann equation is a special discretized form of the Boltzmann equation. A 3-bit approximation, which describe uncongested traffic flow, for the discretization of the Boltzmann equation in both time and phase space is di...
