An immersed boundary-thermal lattice Boltzmann method using an equilibrium internal energy density approach for the simulation of flows with heat transfer

In present paper, a novel immersed boundary-thermal lattice Boltzmann method by the name of “an equilibrium internal energy density approach” is proposed to simulate the flows around bluff bodies with the heat transfer. The main idea is to combine the immersed boundary method (IBM) with the thermal lattice Boltzmann method (TLBM) based on the double population approach. The equilibrium internal energy density approach based on the equilibrium velocity approach [X. Shan, H. Chen, Lattice Boltzmann model for simulating flows with multiple phases and components, Phys. Rev. E 47 (1993) 1815] is used to combine IBM with TLBM. The idea of the equilibrium internal energy density approach is that the satisfaction of the energy balance between heat source on the immersed boundary point and the amount of change of the internal energy density according to time ensures the temperature boundary condition on the immersed boundary. The advantages of this approach are the simple concept, easy implementation and the utilization of original governing equation without modification. The simulation of natural convection in a square cavity with various body shapes for different Rayleigh numbers has been conducted to validate the capability and the accuracy of present method on solving heat transfer problems. Consequently, the present results are found to be in good agreement with those of previous studies.     

An efficient immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method for the hydrodynamic interaction of elastic filaments

We have introduced a modified penalty approach into the flow-structure interaction solver that combines an immersed boundary method (IBM) and a multi-block lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to model an incompressible flow and elastic boundaries with finite mass. The effect of the solid structure is handled by the IBM in which the stress exerted by the structure on the fluid is spread onto the collocated grid points near the boundary. The fluid motion is obtained by solving the discrete lattice Boltzmann equation. The inertial force of the thin solid structure is incorporated by connecting this structure through virtual springs to a ghost structure with the equivalent mass. This treatment ameliorates the numerical instability issue encountered in this type of problems. Thanks to the superior efficiency of the IBM and LBM, the overall method is extremely fast for a class of flow-structure interaction problems where details of flow patterns need to be resolved. Numerical examples, including those involving multiple solid bodies, are presented to verify the method and illustrate its efficiency. As an application of the present method, an elastic filament flapping in the Kármán gait and the entrainment regions near a cylinder is studied to model fish swimming in these regions. Significant drag reduction is found for the filament, and the result is consistent with the metabolic cost measured experimentally for the live fish.     

The effect of surface roughness on rarefied gas flows by lattice Boltzmann method

This paper studies the roughness effect combining with effects of rarefaction and compressibility by a lattice Boltzmann model for rarefied gas flows at high Knudsen numbers. By discussing the effect of the tangential momentum accommodation coefficient on the rough boundary condition, the lattice Boltzmann simulations of nitrogen and helium flows are performed in a two-dimensional microchannel with rough boundaries. The surface roughness effects in the microchannel on the velocity field, the mass flow rate and the friction coefficient are studied and analysed. Numerical results for the two gases in micro scale show different characteristics from macroscopic flows and demonstrate the feasibility of the lattice Boltzmann model in rarefied gas dynamics.     

Implicit velocity correction-based immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method and its applications

A version of immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM) is proposed in this work. It is based on the lattice Boltzmann equation with external forcing term proposed by Guo et al. [Z. Guo, C. Zheng, B. Shi, Discrete lattice effects on the forcing term in the lattice Boltzmann method, Phys. Rev. E 65 (2002) 046308], which can well consider the effect of external force to the momentum and momentum flux as well as the discrete lattice effect. In this model, the velocity is contributed by two parts. One is from the density distribution function and can be termed as intermediate velocity, and the other is from the external force and can be considered as velocity correction. In the conventional IB-LBM, the force density (external force) is explicitly computed in advance. As a result, we cannot manipulate the velocity correction to enforce the non-slip boundary condition at the boundary point. In the present work, the velocity corrections (force density) at all boundary points are considered as unknowns which are computed in such a way that the non-slip boundary condition at the boundary points is enforced. The solution procedure of present IB-LBM is exactly the same as the conventional IB-LBM except that the non-slip boundary condition can be satisfied in the present model while it is only approximately satisfied in the conventional model. Numerical experiments for the flows around a circular cylinder and an airfoil show that there is no any penetration of streamlines to the solid body in the present results. This is not the case for the results obtained by the conventional IB-LBM. Another advantage of the present method is its simple calculation of force on the boundary. The force can be directly calculated from the relationship between the velocity correction and the force density.     

Three-dimensional lattice Boltzmann method for simulating blood flow in aortic arch

The three-dimensional （3D） lattice Boltzmann models, 3DQ15, 3DQ19 and 3DQ27, under different wall boundary conditions and lattice resolutions have been investigated by simulating Poiseuille flow in a circular cylinder for a wide range of Reynolds numbers. The 3DQ19 model with improved Fillippova and Hanel （FH） curved boundary condition represents a good compromise between computational efficiency and reliability. Blood flow in an aortic arch is then simulated as a typical haemodynamic application. Axial and secondary fluid velocity and effective wall shear stress profiles in a 180° bend are obtained, and the results also demonstrate that the lattice Boltzmann method is suitable for simulating the flow in 3D large-curved vessels.     

Lattice Boltzmann Solid Particles in a Lattice Boltzmann Fluid

We define a lattice Boltzmann model of solid, deformable suspensions immersed in a fluid itself described in terms of the lattice Boltzmann method. We discuss the rules governing the internal dynamics of the solid object as well as the rules specifying the interaction between solid and fluid particle. We perform a numerical drag experiment to validate the model. Finally we consider the case of a population of flexible chains in suspension in a shear stress flow and study the influence on the velocity profile.
