This work uses the lattice Boltzmann model (LBM) to solve the Pennes bio-heat equation (BHE) to predict the temperature rise behavior occurring in cylindrical biological tissues during magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH). Therefore, LBM is extended to solve the bio-heat transfer problem with curved boundary conditions. Effect of magnetic nanoparticles' (MNPs) volume fraction as well as the vastness of heated region on the temperature distribution are shown. The analytical and numerical finite difference solutions reveal the accuracy of the model.

Hyperthermia therapy for cancer has attracted much attention nowadays. The study on the heat transfer in the magnetic fluid and the tumor is crucial for the successful application of magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH). Water-based Fe3O4 magnetic fluid is expected to be a most appropriate candidate for MFH due to the good biocompatibility, high saturation magnetization, super-paramagnetization and high chemical stability. In this paper, we explore the heat generation and transfer in magnetic fluid which is placed under an AC magnetic field. It is found that the amplitude and the frequency of alternating magnetic field, particle size and volume fraction have a pronounce influence on maximum temperature of hyperthermia.

The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is a potent numerical technique based on kinetic theory, which has been effectively employed in various complicated physical, chemical and fluid mechanics problems. In this paper multi-relaxation lattice Boltzmann model (MRT) coupled with a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and the equation are applied for driven cavity flow at different Reynolds number (1000-10000) and the results are compared with the previous published papers which solve the Navier stokes equation directly. The comparisons between the simulated results show that the lattice Boltzmann method has the capacity to solve the complex flows with reasonable accuracy and reliability.

The lattice Boltzmann method and the particle image model are adopted to study a heat transfer problem with thermal contact resistance. In this paper, a new study involving an inclined interface of contact between two media is introduced in order to evaluate a 2-D heat transfer in the steady regime. A case of study and numerical results are provided to support this configuration. The obtained results show the effect of the thermal contact resistance on the heat transfer, as well as the temperature distribution on the two contacting media.

Understanding the dynamic characteristic of the cavitation bubble near a solid wall is a fundamental issue for the bubble collapse application and prevention. In the present work, an improved three-dimensional multi-relaxation-time pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann model is adopted to investigate the cavitation bubble collapse near the solid wall. With respect to thermodynamic consistency, Laplace law verification, the three-dimensional pseudopotential multi-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model is investigated. By the theoretical analysis, it is proved that the model can be regarded as a solver of the Rayleigh–Plesset equation, and confirmed by comparing the results of the lattice Boltzmann simulation and the Rayleigh–Plesset equation calculation for the case of cavitation bubble collapse in the infinite medium field. The bubble collapse near the solid wall is modeled using the improved pseudopotential multi-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model. We find the lattice Boltzmann simulation and the experimental results have the same dynamic process by comparing the bubble profiles evolution. Form the pressure field and the velocity field evolution it is found that the tapered higher pressure region formed near the top of the bubble is a crucial driving force inducing the bubble collapse. This exploratory research demonstrates that the lattice Boltzmann method is an alternative tool for the study of the interaction between collapsing cavitation bubble and matter.

In this paper, we describes the simulations of two- and three-dimensional interfacial motions in shear flow based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), in which a macroscopic fluid flow results from averaging collision and translation of mesoscopic particles and an interface can be reproduced in a self-organizing way by repulsive interaction between particles. A new scheme in the binary fluid model is proposed to simulate motions of immiscible two phases with different mass densities, and examined in numerical analysis of bubble motions under gravity in a circular tube and deformation of bubble under shear stress. For higher Reynolds numbers, a finite difference-based lattice Boltzmann scheme is applied to the kinetic equations of particle to improve numerical stability, which can capture break-up motions of bubble. Parallel computing in LBM is also discussed briefly for efficient speeding up.

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) as a relatively new numerical scheme has recently achieved considerable success in simulating fluid flows and associated transport phenomena. However, application of this method to heat transfer problems has been at a stage of infancy. In this work, a thermal lattice Boltzmann model is employed to simulate a two-dimensional, steady flow in a symmetric bifurcation under constant temperature and constant heat flux boundary conditions. The bifurcation effects on the heat transfer and fluid flow are investigated and comparisons are made with the straight tube. Also, different bifurcation angles are simulated and the results are compared with the work of the other researchers.

Thermomagnetic convection in a differentially heated square cavity with an infinitely long third dimension is numerically simulated using the single relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). This problem is of considerable interest when dealing with cooling of microelectronic devices, in situations where natural convection does not meet the cooling requirements, and forced convection is not viable due to the difficulties associated with pumping a ferrofluid. Therefore, circulation is achieved by imposing a magnetic field, which is created and controlled by placing a dipole at the bottom of the enclosure. The magnitude of the magnetic force is controlled by changing the electrical current through the dipole. In this study, the effects of combined natural convection and magnetic convection, which is commonly known as “thermomagnetic convection,” are analysed in terms of the flow modes and heat transfer characteristics of a magnetic fluid.
