The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) was used to analyze two-dimensional (2D) non-Fourier heat conduction with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. To this end, the evolution of wave-like temperature distributions in a 2D plate was obtained. The temperature distributions along certain parts of the plate, which was subjected to heat generation and constant thermal conductivity condit...

Burgers equation is a simplified form of the Navier-Stokes equation that represents the non-linear features of it. In this paper, the transient two-dimensional non-linear Burgers equation is solved using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). The results are compared with the Modified Local Crank-Nicolson method (MLCN) and exact solutions. The LBM has been emerged as a new numerical method for sol...

abstract: since the field of micro electromechanical systems (mems) continues to grow, the flow in micro devices have become an area that receives a significant attention. the microscopic flows are usually characterized by the knudsen number (kn). when the characteristic size of the particle decreases down to a value comparable to the mean free path of the molecules, the continuum assumption fa...

We compare the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and Pseudo-Spectral (PS) method for direct numerical simulation of decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence. In this study we use the generalized lattice Boltzmann equation (GLBE) with multiple-relaxationtime (MRT) collision model, which overcomes all the apparent defects in the popular lattice BGK equation. We first compare the instantaneous flow ...

A new immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM) is proposed and validated in this work by its application to simulate incompressible viscous flows. The conventional IB-LBM based on the lattice Boltzmann equation with external forcing term, which contains a boundary velocity to represent the effect that the moving boundary exerts on the bounce-back distribution functions, whereas the p...

The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) has numerous computational advantages, such as the simplicity of programming, the ability to incorporate microscopic interactions, and the easy parallelization of algorithms. The traditional lattice Boltzmann model has a constraint of small mach number(the velocity of fluid must be less than 0.3 mach). This paper presents a novel lattice Boltzmann method to si...

A fractional step lattice Boltzmann scheme is presented to greatly improve the stability of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) in modelling incompressible flows at high Reynolds number. This method combines the good features of the conventional LBM and the fractional step technique. Through the fractional step, the flow at an extreme case of infinite Reynolds number (inviscid flow) can be effec...

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has recently become an alternative and promising computational fluid dynamics approach for simulating complex fluid flows. Despite its enormous success in many practical applications, the standard LBM is restricted to the lattice uniformity in the physical space. This is the main drawback of the standard LBM for flow problems with complex geometry. Several app...

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has established itself as a valid numerical method in computational fluid dynamics. Recently, multiple-relaxation-time LBM has been proposed to simulate anisotropic advection-diffusion processes. The governing differential equations of advective-diffusive systems are known to satisfy maximum principles, comparison principles, the non-negative constraint, and t...
