Numerical Simulation of High Reynolds Number Flow Structure in a Lid-Driven Cavity Using MRT-LES

Abstract:

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. Keywords: Two-dimensional flows, Lattice Boltzmann method, Turbulent flow, MRT, LES.
