In the present study, the combination of lattice Boltzmann and immersed boundary methods is used to simulate the motion and deformation of a flexible body. Deformation of the body is studied in microchannel with stenosis and the effect of the flexibility changes on its deformation is investigated. The obtained results in the present manuscript show that by increasing the elasticity modulus, the...

In this study, the effects of Prandtl number on the primary and secondary instability of the Rayleigh-Benard convection problem has been investigated using the lattice Boltzmann method. Two different cases as Pr=5.8 and 0.7 representing the fluid in liquid and gas conditions are examined. A body forces scheme of the lattice Boltzmann method was presented. Two types of boundary conditions in the...

Incompressible two dimensional lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is adopted to simulate flow inside a pipe commonly called Poiseuille flow. Instead of D2Q9 lattice Boltzmann model, we used an incompressible two-dimensional model, D2Q9i to simulate the flow conditions. At the inlet, velocity boundary condition, while at outlet, pressure boundary condition and at the surfaces, no slip boundary condi...

The conventional Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations with no-slip boundary conditions are unable to capture the phenomenon of gas thermal transpiration. While kinetic approaches such as the direct simulation Monte Carlo method and direct solution of the Boltzmann equation can predict thermal transpiration, these methods are often beyond the reach of current computer technology, especially for compl...

Simulating inhomogeneous flows with different characteristic scales in coordinate directions using the collide-and-stream based lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM) can be accomplished efficiently rectangular grids. We develop and investigate a new central moment LBM on non-orthogonal basis (referred to as RC-LBM). The equilibria which moments relax under collision this approach are obtained from ma...

This paper reviews applications of the lattice-Boltzmann method to simulations of particle-fluid suspensions. We first summarize the available simulation methods for colloidal suspensions together with some of the important applications of these methods, and then describe results from lattice-gas and latticeBoltzmann simulations in more detail. The remainder of the paper is an update of previou...

This paper is focused on the application of hybrid Single relaxation time lattice Boltzmann and finite volume methods in conjunction with discrete ordinates method to simulate coupled natural convection and volumetric radiation in differentially heated enclosure, filled with an absorbing, emitting and non-scattering gray medium. In this work, the velocity and temperature fields are calculated u...

We present a multilevel algorithm to compute steady states of lattice Boltzmann models directly as fixed points of a time-stepper. At the fine scale, we use a Richardson iteration for the fixed point equation, which amounts to time-stepping towards equilibrium. This fine-scale iteration is accelerated by transferring the error to a coarse level. At this coarse level, one directly solves for the...

We present a free energy lattice Boltzmann approach to modelling the dynamics of liquid drops on chemically patterned substrates. We start by describing a choice of free energy that reproduces the bulk behaviour of a liquid-gas system together with the varying contact angles on surfaces with chemical patterning. After showing how the formulation of the free energy fits in to the framework of la...
