In the present study, commonly used weakly compressible lattice Boltzmann method and Guo incompressible lattice Boltzmann method have been used to simulate fluid flow in a stirred tank. For this purpose a 3D Parallel code has been developed in the framework of the lattice Boltzmann method. This program has been used for simulation of flow at different geometries such as 2D channel fluid flow an...

Recently, a minimal kinetic model for fluid flow, known as entropic lattice Boltzmann method, has been proposed for the simulation of isothermal hydrodynamic flows. At variance with previous Lattice Boltzmann methods, the entropic version permits to describe the non-linear dynamics of short scales in a controlled and stable way. In this paper, we provide the first numerical evidence that the en...

The lattice evolution method for solving the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation in confined domain is developed by introducing the second-order accurate Dirichlet and Neumann boundary implements, which are consistent with the non-slip model in lattice Boltzmann method for fluid flows. The lattice evolution method is validated by comparing with various analytical solutions and shows superior t...

the purpose of this paper is to investigate the egm method and the behavior of a solid particle suspended in a twodimensional rectangular cavity due to conjugate natural convection. a thermal lattice boltzmann bgk model is implemented to simulate the two dimensional natural convection and the particle phase was modeled using the lagrangian–lagrangian approach where the solid particles are treat...

In this work, for better understanding of drug delivery systems, blood flow over a ceramic nanoparticle is investigated through microvessels. Drug is considered as a nanoparticle coated with the rigid ceramic. Due to the low characteristic size in the microvessel, the fluid flow is not continuum and the no-slip boundary condition cannot be applied. To solve this problem lattice Boltzmann method...

A subgrid turbulence model for the lattice Boltzmann method is proposed for high Reynolds number fluid flow applications. The method, based on the standard Smagorinsky subgrid model and a single-time relaxation lattice Boltzmann method, incorporates the advantages of the lattice Boltzmann method for handling arbitrary boundaries and is easily implemented on parallel machines. The method is appl...

When using a lattice Boltzmann method on an unbounded (or very large) domain one has to confine this spatial domain to a computational domain. This is realized by introducing so-called artificial boundary conditions. Until recently, characteristic boundary conditions for the Euler equations were considered and adapted to the lattice Boltzmann method. In this work we propose novel discrete artif...

Two-dimensional decaying turbulence is simulated using the lattice Boltzmann method with the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook collision operator. The simulation results are analyzed in the spectral space and the auto power spectral density functions of the one-particle distribution functions are presented. It is shown that both the equilibrium and the non-equilibrium parts of the distribution functions ha...

because of its kinetic nature and computational advantages, the lattice boltzmann method (lbm) has been well accepted as a useful tool to simulate micro-scale flows. the slip boundary model plays a crucial role in the accuracy of solutions for micro-channel flow simulations. the most used slip boundary condition is the maxwell slip model. the results of maxwell slip model are affected by the ac...
