Lattice Boltzmann Simulation

In the present investigation, two phase film boiling of ferrofluids under an external field delivered around a two-dimensional square cross-section heater was investigated using the lattice Boltzmann technique. The purpose of this work is to find the effect of magnetic field magnitude and direction on the Nusselt number in single and double heater geometry. The improving thermal efficiency in the horizontal and vertical placement of heaters is also presented. The governing equations of mass conservation, momentum conservation, and energy conservation are solved by using a central-moments-based Lattice Boltzmann scheme. The air pocket generated around heater raised incorporating magnetic effects. The heat transfer through this advancement has been explored quantitatively and abstractly. The results shows that with the development in the volumetric applied force at the bubble-fluid interface, the bubble boundary layer thickness around the square heater lessened which cause the Nusselt number augmented. Through the parameter study it found that the Nusselt number can be essentially extended by altering the course of magnet shafts, and that film rising outwardly of the bubble. The improvement and advancement of vapour phase in various heater arrangement made two column of bubble rises at the same time, which rose above each heater and in the end changed into one column of bubble. A correlation considering magnitude and angle of the magnetic field on time-averaged Nusselt number is presented. Finally, the Nusselt number can be controlled with the help of the incorporation of other heaters.

A model with a volumetric stress tensor added to the Navier–Stokes Equation is used to study two-phase fluid flows. The implementation of such an interface model into the lattice-Boltzmann equation is derived from the continuous Boltzmann BGK equation with an external force term, by using the discrete coordinate method. Numerical simulations are carried out for phase separation and "dam breaking" phenomena.

Behavior Characteristic

Stator coils of automobiles in operation generate heat and are cooled by a coolant poured from above. Since the behavior characteristic of the coolant poured on the coils is not clarified yet due to its complexity, the three-dimensional two-phase flow simulation is conducted. In this study, as a steppingstone to the simulation of the liquid falling on the actual coils, the coils are modelled with horizontal rectangular pillar arrays whose governing parameters can be easily changed. The two-phase flows are simulated using the lattice Boltzmann method and the phase-field model, and the effects of the governing parameters, such as the physical properties of the cooling liquid, the wettability, and the gap between the pillars, on the wetting area are investigated. The results show that the oil tends to spread across the pillars because of its high viscosity. Moreover, the liquid spreads quickly when the contact angle is small. In the case that the pillars are stacked, the wetting area of the inner pillars is larger than that of the exposed pillars.

Casson Nanofluid

In this study, an attempt is made to explore the two-phase Casson nanofluid passing through a stretching sheet along a permeable surface with the effects of chemical reactions and gyrotactic microorganisms. By utilizing the strength of similarity transforms the governing PDEs are transformed into set of ODEs. The resulting equations are handled by using a proficient numerical scheme known as the shooting technique. Authenticity of numerical outcomes is established by comparing the achieved results with the MATLAB built-in solver bvp4c. The numerical outcomes for the reduced Nusselt number and Sherwood number are exhibited in the tabular form, while the variations of some crucial physical parameters on the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are demonstrated graphically. It is observed that Local Nusselt number rises with the enhancement in the magnetic field parameter, the porous media parameter, and the chemical reactions, while magnetic field parameter along with porous media parameter retards the velocity profile.

The Impact

AbstractWe combine the Shan-Chen multicomponent lattice Boltzmann model and the link-based bounce-back particle suspension model to simulate particle motion in binary immiscible fluids. The impact of the slightly mixing nature of the Shan-Chen model and the fluid density variations near the solid surface caused by the fluid-solid interaction, on the particle motion in binary fluids is comprehensively studied. Our simulations show that existing models suffer significant fluid mass drift as the particle moves across nodes, and the obtained particle trajectories deviate away from the correct ones. A modified wetting model is then proposed to reduce the non-physical effects, and its effectiveness is validated by comparison with existing wetting models. Furthermore, the first-order refill method for the newly created lattice node combined with the new wetting model significantly improves mass conservation and accuracy.

In this paper Lattice Boltzmann simulation of turbulent natural convection with large-eddy simulations (LES) in tall enclosures which is filled by air with Pr=0.71 has been studied. Calculations were performed for high Rayleigh numbers (Ra=107-109) and aspect ratios change between 0.5 to 2 (0.5<AR<2). The present results are validated by finds of an experimental research at Ra=1.58x109. Effects of the aspect ratios in different Rayleigh numbers are displayed on streamlines, isotherm counters, vertical velocity and temperature at the middle of the cavity, local Nusselt number and average Nusselt number. The average Nusselt number increases with the augmentation of Rayleigh numbers. The increment of the aspect ratio causes heat transfer to decline in different Rayleigh numbers.
