Computational Performance

The present work highlights the capacity of disparate lattice Boltzmann strategies in simulating natural convection and heat transfer phenomena during the unsteady period of the flow. Within the framework of Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook collision operator, diverse lattice Boltzmann schemes emerged from two different embodiments of discrete Boltzmann expression and three distinct forcing models. Subsequently, computational performance of disparate lattice Boltzmann strategies was tested upon two different thermo-hydrodynamics configurations, namely the natural convection in a differentially-heated cavity and the Rayleigh-Bènard convection. For the purposes of exhibition and validation, the steady-state conditions of both physical systems were compared with the established numerical results from the classical computational techniques. Excellent agreements were observed for both thermo-hydrodynamics cases. Numerical results of both physical systems demonstrate the existence of considerable discrepancy in the computational characteristics of different lattice Boltzmann strategies during the unsteady period of the simulation. The corresponding disparity diminished gradually as the simulation proceeded towards a steady-state condition, where the computational profiles became almost equivalent. Variation in the discrete lattice Boltzmann expressions was identified as the primary factor that engenders the prevailed heterogeneity in the computational behaviour. Meanwhile, the contribution of distinct forcing models to the emergence of such diversity was found to be inconsequential. The findings of the present study contribute to the ventures to alleviate contemporary issues regarding proper selection of lattice Boltzmann schemes in modelling fluid flow and heat transfer phenomena.

Active Location

Steady, laminar, natural convection flow in a square enclosure with partially active vertical wall is considered. The enclosure is filled with air and subjected to horizontal temperature gradient. Finite volume method is used to solve the dimensionless governing equations. The physical problem depends on three parameters: Rayleigh number (Ra =103-106), Prandtl number (Pr=0.71), and the aspect ratio of the enclosure (A=1). The active location takes two positions in the left wall: top (T) and middle (M). The main focus of the study is on examining the effect of Rayleigh number on fluid flow and heat transfer rate. The results including the streamlines, isotherm patterns, flow velocity and the average Nusselt number for different values of Ra. The obtained results show that the increase of Ra leads to enhance heat transfer rate. The fluid particles move with greater velocity for higher thermal Rayleigh number. Also by moving the active location from the top to the middle on the left vertical wall, convection and heat transfer rate are more important in case (M). Furthermore for high Rayleigh number (Ra=106), Convection mechanism in (T) case is principally in the top of the enclosure, whereas in the remaining case it covers the entire enclosure.

Method Analysis

In this paper, the additional source term method is applied to the flow and heat transfer problems with radiation. According to the solid radiation surfaces situation, the effects of radiation on heat transfer can be divided into two cases. One is that the solid wall is in the solver region. The conduction, heat transfer and radiation act together in the interface between solid and liquid. This is the problem of combined conduction, heat transfer and radiation. The other is that the solid wall is the boundary of the solver region. The radiation heat is used as boundary condition. The solution method is different to them.
