A lattice Boltzmann (LB) method based on the linearized Boltzmann Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook equation for numerical simulation of oscillatory (unsteady) Stokes flow is proposed. Unlike the conventional (nonlinear) LB method that utilizes the time domain exclusively, the proposed method is formulated in the frequency domain to allow for direct access to the complex-valued stress, force, and velocity ...

Robust empirical constitutive laws for granular materials in air or in a viscous fluid have been expressed in terms of timescales based on the dynamics of a single particle. However, some behaviours such as viscosity bifurcation or shear localization, observed also in foams, emulsions, and block copolymer cubic phases, seem to involve other micro-timescales which may be related to the dynamics ...

in this paper, the ritz-galerkin method in bernstein polynomial basis is applied for solving the nonlinear problem of the magnetohydrodynamic (mhd) flow of third grade fluid between the two plates. the properties of the bernstein  polynomials together with the ritz-galerkin method are used to reduce the solution of the mhd couette flow of non-newtonian fluid in a porous medium to the solution o...

The recently introduced consistent lattice Boltzmann model with energy conservation [S. Ansumali and I. V. Karlin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 260605 (2005)] is extended to the simulation of thermal flows on standard lattices. The two-dimensional thermal model on the standard square lattice with nine velocities is developed and validated in the thermal Couette and Rayleigh-Bénard natural convection pr...
