Abstract In this study, the hybrid immersed boundary-thermal lattice Boltzmann method was developed and applied to assess the inclusion of heat transfer in flows containing non-circular particles. The direct forcing/heating immersed boundary method was used for determining the hydrodynamic forces and energy exchange. A complementary method was also implemented to treat non-circularity. The accuracy of the computational model and the employed complementary method were properly validated. Two cases for the falling ellipse were considered. A set of comprehensive simulations were performed and the effects of geometry, Grashof number, repulsive force, and heat transfer were analyzed. The findings of this study would be useful for a better understanding of settling non-circular particles in a thermal field.

We demonstrate the applicability of the immersed boundary lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM) based on the implicit correction method to the simulation of rigid body motion in a viscous fluid and to the natural convection calculation. We compare the accuracy of the IB-LBM based on the implicit correction method with one of the IB-LBM based on the direct forcing method that eliminates the necessity of the determination of free parameters. In the simulations of the cylindrical Couette flow and of the heat transfer between two concentric cylinders, the implicit correction method indicates the first-order accuracy in the number of Lagrangian points. The accuracy of the IB-LBM based on the direct forcing method is independent of the number of the boundary points. The IB-LBM based on the implicit correction method is more accurate than one based on the direct forcing method.
