This paper provides numerical study of the effects of mixed convection on particles removal from a cavity using multi-relaxation time thermal lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for compute the flow and isotherm characteristics in the bottom heated cavity located on a floor of horizontal channel. A point force scheme was applied for particles-fluid interactionand double-distribution function (DFF) was coupled with MRT thermal LBM to study the effects of various grashof number (Gr) and Aspect Ratio (AR) on the efficiency of particles removal. The results show that change in Grashof number and Aspect ratio causes a dramatic different in the flow pattern and particles removal efficiency.

Purpose – The main purpose of this paper is to develop a novel thermal lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) based on finite volume (FV) formulation. Validation of the suggested formulation is performed by simulating plane Poiseuille, backward-facing step and flow over circular cylinder. Design/methodology/approach – For this purpose, a cell-centered scheme is used to discretize the convection operator and the double distribution function model is applied to describe the temperature field. To enhance stability, weighting factors are defined as flux correctors on a D2Q9 lattice. Findings – The introduction of pressure-temperature-dependent flux-control coefficients in the streaming operator, in conjunction with suitable boundary conditions, is shown to result in enhanced numerical stability of the scheme. In all cases, excellent agreement with the existing literature is found and shows that the presented method is a promising scheme in simulating thermo-hydrodynamic phenomena. Originality/value – A stable and accurate FV formulation of the thermal DDF-LBM is presented.

This article provides numerically study of the multi-relaxation time thermal lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for compute the flow and isotherm characteristics in the bottom heated cavity located o n a floor of horizontal channel . A double-distribution function (DFF) was coupled with MRT thermal LBM to study the effects of various grashof number (Gr), Reynolds number (Re) and Aspect Ratio (AR) on the flow and isotherm characteristic. The results we re compared with the conventional single-relaxation time lattice Boltzmann scheme and benchmark solution for such flow configuration. The results of the numer ical simulation indicate that multi-relaxation time thermal lattice Boltzmann scheme demonstrated good agreement, which supports its validity in computing fluid flow problem.
