A volume penalization lattice Boltzmann method for simulating flows in the presence of obstacles

Abstract

The LBM is combined with the Volume Penalization (VP LBM) approach to simulate flows in the presence of obstacles. The single relaxation time LBM and the multiple relaxation time LBM are used. For cases where the fluid motion is enhanced by moving boundaries, the comparison of our results with analytical results is satisfactory. The flow around a cylinder at a relatively high Reynolds number is also calculated. For that case,the VP LBM method was parallelized. A comparison of our results with those found in the literature, demonstrates the reliability of the VP LBM to treat complex flows.
