Towards Development of a Multiphase Simulation Model Using Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM)

Koosukuntla, Narender Reddy

Abstract Details

2011, Master of Science, University of Toledo, Mechanical Engineering.
Lattice Boltzmann Method is evolving as a substitute to the prevalent and predominant CFD modeling especially in cases such as multiphase flows, porous media flows and micro flows. This study is aimed at developing simulation model for multiphase flows for practical applications such as cavitation in a journal bearing or lubrication of micro contact. The code is first validated against benchmark single phase flows like Poiseulle flow and flow over a cylinder. In the process, various boundary conditions like velocity, pressure, out-flow, no-slip and periodic boundary conditions are tested. Finally, the Shan-Chen model for multiphase physics, which is based on the interaction force between the fluid particles, is incorporated into the code and is validated.
