Titre : A lattice Boltzmann method based numerical scheme for microchannel flows Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : S. C. Fu, Auteur ; W. W. F. Leung, Auteur ; R. M. C. So, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : 11 p. Note générale : fluids engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Lattice  Boltzmann  method;  microchannel  flows;  Navier–Stokes  equations Résumé : Conventional lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is hyperbolic and can be solved locally, explicitly, and efficiently on parallel computers. The LBM has been applied to different types of complex flows with varying degrees of success, and with increased attention focusing on microscale flows now. Due to its small scale, microchannel flows exhibit many interesting phenomena that are not observed in their macroscale counterpart. It is known that the Navier–Stokes equations can still be used to treat microchannel flows if a slip-wall boundary condition is assumed. The setting of boundary conditions in the conventional LBM has been a difficult task, and reliable boundary setting methods are limited. This paper reports on the development of a finite difference LBM (FDLBM) based numerical scheme suitable for microchannel flows to solve the modeled Boltzmann equation using a splitting technique that allows convenient application of a slip-wall boundary condition. Moreover, the fluid viscosity is accounted for as an additional term in the equilibrium particle distribution function, which offers the ability to simulate both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. A two-dimensional nine-velocity lattice model is developed for the numerical simulation. Validation of the FDLBM is carried out against microchannel and microtube flows, a driven cavity flow, and a two-dimensional sudden expansion flow. Excellent agreement is obtained between numerical calculations and analytical solutions of these flows.
