Turbulence Modelling

Most flows in nature are turbulent. How to model turbulent flows plays an important role in practical engineering. Theoretically, turbulent flows can be described by either the space-filtered flow equations or the time-averaged flow equations. Numerical r

Preface

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is a modern numerical technique, very efficient, flexible to simulate different flows within complex/varying geometries. It is evolved from the lattice gas automata (LGA) in order to overcome the difficulties with the LGA. The core equation in the LBM turns out to be a special discrete form of the continuum Boltzmann equation, leading it to be self-explanatory in statistical physics. The method describes the microscopic picture of particles movement in an extremely simplified way, and on the macroscopic level it gives a correct average description of a fluid. The averaged particle velocities behave in time and space just as the flow velocities in a physical fluid, showing a direct link between discrete microscopic and continuum macroscopic phenomena. In contrast to the traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based on a direct solution of flow equations, the
