in this paper, two dimensional natural convection heat transfer in non-square cavities such as triangle, trapezoid, quadrant-circle and semi-circular are investigated via lattice boltzmann method. the prandtl number is taken as 0.71 that corresponds to that of air. the results show that, when the flow pattern consists of two rotating cell, there is a extremum point in the variations of the loca...

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...

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...

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...

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...

the permeability and tortuosity of pore-scale two and three-dimensional random porous media were calculated using the lattice boltzmann method (lbm). effects of geometrical parameters of medium on permeability and tortuosity were investigated as well. two major models of random porous media were reconstructed by computerized tomography method: randomly distributed rectangular obstacles in a uni...

this work presents a numerical analysis of entropy generation in γ-shaped enclosure that was submitted to the natural convection process using a simple thermal lattice boltzmann method (tlbm) with the boussinesq approximation.  a 2d thermal lattice boltzmann method with 9 velocities, d2q9, is used to solve the thermal flow problem. the simulations are performed at a constant prandtl number (pr ...

in according to the simplicity of the lattice boltzmann method’s(lbm) algorithm and its benefits, it has been used as a successful method in computational fluid dynamics in the last decades. in this paper, lbm was used to simulate the flow over a cylinder. to analyze the application of lbm in simulation curved surface, different methods to compute drag coefficient were used. these methods are: ...
