We prove that no H theorem exists for the athermal lattice Boltzmann equation with polynomial equilibria satisfying the conservation laws exactly and explicitly. The proof is demonstrated by using the seven-velocity model in a triangular lattice in two dimensions, and can be readily extended to other lattice Boltzmann models in two and three dimensions. Some issues pertinent to the numerical in...

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....

The lattice Boltzmann equation was introduced about 20 years ago as a new paradigm for computational fluid dynamics. In this paper, we revisit the main formulation of the lattice Boltzmann collision integral (matrix model) and introduce a new two-parametric family of collision operators, which permits us to combine enhanced stability and accuracy of matrix models with the outstanding simplicity...

In this paper, by introducing a different distribution function and starting from the Boltzmann equation as well as the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, we obtain a Boltzmann Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) equation for thermal flows with viscous heat dissipation in the incompressible limit. The continuous thermal BGK model is then discretized over both time and phase space to form a lattice BGK mod...

In this paper, the lattice Boltzmann method for convectiondiffusion equation with source term is applied directly to solve some important nonlinear complex equations, including nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation, coupled NLS equations, Klein-Gordon equation and coupled Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger equations, by using complex-valued distribution function and relaxation time. Detailed simulations o...

A three-dimensional lattice Boltzmann model with thirty two discrete velocity distribution functions for viscoelastic fluid is presented in this work. The model is based upon the generalized lattice Boltzmann equation constructed in moment space. The nonlinear equilibria of the model have a number of coupling constants that are free parameters. The dispersion equation of the model is analyzed u...
