Abstract
In the paper a description of heat transfer in one-dimensional crystalline solids is presented. The lattice Boltzmann method based on Boltzmann transport equation is used to simulate the nanoscale heat transport in thin metal films. The coupled lattice Boltzmann equations for electrons and phonons are applied to analyze the heating process of thin metal films via laser pulse. Such approach in which the parameters appearing in the problem analyzed are treated as constant values is widely used, but in the paper the interval values of relaxation times and electron-phonon coupling factor are taken into account. The problem formulated has been solved by means of the interval lattice Boltzmann method using the rules of directed interval arithmetic. In the final part of the paper the results of numerical computations are shown.
We have developed a simple method to construct local equilibrium function for lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). This new method can make LBM model satisfy compressible flow with a flexible specific-heat ratio. Test cases, including the one-dimensional Sod flow, one-dimensional Lax flow and thermal Couette flow are presented. Good results obtained using proposed new method, indicate that the proposed method is potentially capable of constructing of the local equilibrium function for LBM.
In this paper, a new flux solver was developed based on a lattice Boltzmann model. Different from solving discrete velocity Boltzmann equation and lattice Boltzmann equation, Euler/Navier-Stokes (NS) equations were solved in this approach, and the flux at the interface was evaluated with a compressible lattice Boltzmann model. This method combined lattice Boltzmann method with finite volume method to solve Euler/NS equations. The proposed approach was validated by some simulations of one-dimensional and multi-dimensional problems.
An explicit finite difference scheme for one-dimensional Burgers equation is derived from the lattice Boltzmann method. The system of the lattice Boltzmann equations for the distribution of the fictitious particles is rewritten as a three-level finite difference equation. The scheme is monotonic and satisfies maximum value principle; therefore, the stability is proved. Numerical solutions have been compared with the exact solutions reported in previous studies. TheL2, L∞and Root-Mean-Square (RMS) errors in the solutions show that the scheme is accurate and effective.
