A new lattice Boltzmann model for compressible flows is presented. The main difference from the standard lattice Boltzmann model is that the particle velocities are no longer constant, but vary with the mean velocity and internal energy. The adaptive nature of the particle velocities permits the mean flow to have a high Much number. The introduction of a particle potential energy makes the model s...Show More

The aim of the present work is to predict the flow field around an elliptic obstacle at different orientations inside a square Lid-Driven Cavity (LDC). The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is used to simulate the flow at a Reynolds number, Re, of 100, using the two-dimensional nine-velocity, (D2Q9) lattice configuration and the BGK collision operator. The in-house code is validated using data from t...Show More

Extension of our approach using the database obtained from the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) can be performed to develop an air-bearing design tool for complex geometry. LBM ca...Show More
Three dimensional computations have been carried out using Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) and Finite Volume Method (FVM) for the case of flow past a stationary sphere.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the OpenMP performances in order to simulate the lid driven cavity flow using Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). The LBM is known as a robust method to approximate the Navier-Stokes solutions. However, this method has a high computational cost due to the huge discrete approximations which are described into several lattices. In lid driven cavity simulations, the re...Show More
