Abstract: | Slip flow heat transfer in circular microtubes is of fundamental interest and practical importance. However, to the best knowledge of the present author, there is no open publication of developing simple and efficient lattice Boltzmann (LB) models on such topic. To bridge the gap, in this paper a simple LB model, which is based on our recent work [S. Chen, J. Tölke, M. Krafczyk, Simulation of buoyancy-driven flows in a vertical cylinder using a simple lattice Boltzmann model, Phys. Rev. E 79 (2009) 016704], is designed. In addition, the recently developed Langmuir slip model [S. Chen, Z.W. Tian, Simulation of thermal micro-flow using lattice Boltzmann method with Langmuir slip model, Int. J. Heat Fluid Flow 31 (2010) 227-235], which possesses a clear physical picture and keeps the Reynolds analogy, is extended to capture velocity slip as well as temperature jump in microtubes. The feasibility and capability of the present model are validated by the extended Graetz problem, which is a benchmark prototype for forced convection heat transfer in circular microtubes. |
