Numerical Simulation of Flow around Cylinder Using the Lattice Boltzmann Method Based on Guo Boundary Condition

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the lattice Boltzmann Method is applied to simulate incompressible steady flow around a cylinder. The simulation model is based on D2Q9 lattice model and Guo boundary condition. Different Reynolds number and cylinder position in the flow field is considered to acquire corresponding velocity, vorticity, pressure and kinetic energy. The conclusions demonstrated in this paper could be useful for the project like construction of ocean platform, cooling tower or high chimney and so on.
