Lattice Boltzmann Method for the Simulating Extrudate Swell of Viscoelastic Fluid

Article Preview

Abstract:

The main objective of this work is to develop a new approach based on the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to simulate the extrudate swell of an Oldroyd B viscoelatic fluid. Two lattice Boltzmann equations are used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations and constitutive equation simultaneously at each time iteration. The single LBM model is used to track the moving interface in this paper. To validate the accuracy and stability of this new scheme, we study the steady 2D Poiseuille flow firstly, finding the numerical results be in good accord with the analytical solution. Then the die-swell phenomenon is solved, we successfully acquire the different swelling state of an Oldroyd B fluid at different time.
