Aero-Acoustics Computations of Square Cylinder Using the Lattice Boltzmann Method

Abstract:

In this paper the ability of the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is investigated for simulating acoustic problems, especially for the propagation of acoustic waves in a wall bounded region. To treat the wall boundary conditions, a non-equilibrium extrapolation scheme for the LBM is adopted. LBM is next applied to simulate the complex aerodynamic noise generated from a square cylinder. In order to efficiently suppress the disturbances at the computational boundaries, the improved absorbing boundary condition (IABC) is developed in this paper. To validate the flow and acoustic solution of a square cylinder, comparisons between the present LBM and the previous studies are carried out. It is demonstrated that the LBM can efficiently simulate the noise generated from a square cylinder.
