The superhydrophobicity of a microchannel is determined by not only the wettability of channel wall but also the surface topography. Recent experiments have found that superhrydrophobic surfaces can be achieved by pattering roughness on hydrophobic surfaces. In this paper, the dynamics of two-phase flow in microchannel with different wettability and topography is studied numerically by the latt...

a lattice boltzmann method is applied to demonstrate the comparison results of simulating natural convection in an open end cavity using different hydrodynamic and thermal boundary conditions. the prandtl number in the present simulation is 0.71, rayleigh numbers are 104,105 and 106 and viscosities are selected 0.02 and 0.05. on-grid bounce-back method with first-order accuracy and non-slip met...

Microfluidics provides a powerful and versatile technology to accurately control spatial and temporal conditions for cell culturing and can therefore be used to study cellular responses to gradients. Here we use Lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM) to solve both the Navier-Stokes equation (NSE) for the fluid and the coupled convection-diffusion equation (CDE) for the compounds that form the diffusio...

Abstract. In this paper, a Cascaded Lattice Boltzmann Method with second order slip boundary conditions is developed to study gas flows in a microchannel in the slip and transition flow regimes with a wide range of Knudsen numbers. For the first time the effect of wall confinement is considered on the effective mean free path of the gas molecules using a function with nonconstant Bosanquet para...

The irregular morphology of single rock fracture significantly influences subsurface fluid flow and gives rise to a complex and unsteady flow state that typically cannot be appropriately described using simple laws. Yet the fluid flow in rough fractures of underground rock is poorly understood. Here we present a numerical method and experimental measurements to probe the effect of fracture roug...

This thesis presents the three–dimensional modeling, discretization, implementation, and simulation of additive manufacturing processes on the example of electron beam melting (EBM). The fluid dynamics of the liquified melting pool are modeled by the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations and the incorporation of energy by the heat equation. The applied numerical scheme is a thermal multi–distr...

a finite volume-lattice boltzmann algorithm is applied to study skin friction behaviour in different channel flows. for this purpose, cell centred scheme is adapted to discretize the boltzmann equation and consistent boundary conditions are also addressed, which resulted in a wider domain of stability. a simulation of flow in a two dimensional channels with different geometries are carried out....

A novel lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) with a pseudo-equilibrium potential is proposed for electromagnetic wave propagation in one-dimensional (1D) plasma photonic crystals. The final form of the LBM incorporates dispersive effect media equilibrium distribution functions. consistency between scheme and Maxwell’s equations was rigorously proven based on Chapman–Enskog expansion technique.
