  Lattice Boltzmann Method for Fluid Flow
  Author(s): Shaik Feroz*
  
  We present an overview of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), a parallel and efficient algorithm for simulating single-phase and multiphase fluid flows and for incorporating additional physical complexities. The LBM is especially useful for modeling complicated boundary conditions and multiphase interfaces. Recent extensions of this method are described, including simulations of fluid turbulence, suspension flows, and reaction diffusion systems. Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is a methodology based on the microscopic particle models and mesoscopic kinetic equations. According to Kadanoff (1986), it has been found that macroscopic behavior of a fluid system is generally not very sensitive to the underlying microscopic particle behavior if only collective macroscopic flow behavior is of interest. The fundamental idea behind the LBM is to construct simplified kinetic models that .. Read More»
