We investigate pre-breakdown hydrodynamic flows and initial stages of the electric breakdown in dielectric liquids. Three models are considered. The first one represents the purely thermal mechanism. Here, the liquid is simulated by a single-phase lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) method. The temperature and the electric charge density are described by additional LBE components with zero mass. T...

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) was used to analyze two-dimensional (2D) non-Fourier heat conduction with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. To this end, the evolution of wave-like temperature distributions in a 2D plate was obtained. The temperature distributions along certain parts of the plate, which was subjected to heat generation and constant thermal conductivity condit...

The objective of this paper is to seek an alternative to the numerical simulation of the Navier-Stokes equations by a method similar to solving the BGK-type modeled lattice Boltzmann equation. The proposed method is valid for both gas and liquid flows. A discrete flux scheme (DFS) is used to derive the governing equations for two distribution functions; one for mass and another for thermal ener...

We investigate the convergence properties of a three-dimensional quantum lattice Boltzmann scheme for the Dirac equation. These schemes were constructed as discretizations of the Dirac equation based on operator splitting to separate the streaming along the three coordinate axes, but their output has previously only been compared against solutions of the Schrödinger equation. The Schrödinger eq...

A lattice Boltzmann model for convection-diffusion equation with nonlinear convection and isotropic-diffusion terms is proposed through selecting equilibrium distribution function properly. The model can be applied to the common real and complex-valued nonlinear evolutionary equations, such as the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, Burgers-Fisher equation, nonline...

We study the macroscopic transport properties of quantum Lorentz gas in a crystal with short-range potentials, and show that Boltzmann-Grad limit dynamics converges to random flight process which is not compatible linear Boltzmann equation. Our derivation relies on hypothesis concerning statistical distribution lattice points thin domains, closely related Berry-Tabor conjecture chaos.

Lattice Boltzmann methods are numerical schemes derived as a kinetic approximation of an underlying lattice gas. A numerical convergence theory for nonlinear convective-diffusive lattice Boltzmann methods is established. Convergence, consistency, and stability are defined through truncated Hilbert expansions. In this setting it is shown that consistency and stability imply convergence. Monotone...
