Meso and Macro-Scales Fluid Flow Simulations with Lattice Boltzmann Method

摘要：

An overview is given on application of Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for simulations of wide range of isothermal and non-isothermal fluid flows. Flows in meso systems, Knudsen number order of 0.1, to macro systems, Knudsen number of order of 0.0, are discussed and illustrated. It seems that LBM is powerful technique for simulations fluid flow and may replace conventional CFD (computational fluid dynamics) techniques, such as finite volume, finite element, etc. Despite the power of LBM for simulations of complex and multiphase flows, yet there are few issues needed to be addressed. Multiscale and Entropy versions of LBM are promising in enhancing the stability of LBM.
