Lattice Boltzmann method: fundamentals and engineering applications with computer code

Lattice Boltzmann Method introduces the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for solving transport phenomena – flow, heat and mass transfer – in a systematic way. Providing explanatory computer codes throughout the book, the author guides readers through many practical examples, such as: flow in isothermal and non-isothermal lid driven cavities; flow over obstacles; forced flow through a heated channel; conjugate forced convection; and natural convection. Diffusion andadvection-diffusion equations are discussed with applications and examples, and complete computer codes accompany the coverage of single and multi-relaxation-time methods. Although the codes are written in FORTRAN, they can be easilytranslated to other languages, such as C++. The codes can also be extended with little effort to multi-phase and multi-physics, if the reader knows the physics of the problem. Readers with some experience of advanced mathematics and physics will find Lattice Boltzmann Method a useful and easy-to-follow text. It has been written for those who are interested in learning and applying the LBM to engineering and industrial problems and it can also serve as a textbook for advanced undergraduate or graduate students who are studying computationaltransport phenomena. Provides detailed examples with complete computer codes. Avoids the most complicated mathematics and physics without scarifying the basic fundamentals of the method. Introduces the Lattice Boltzmann Method in a readable manner. INDICE: 1 Introduction and Kinetic of Particles. 2. The Boltzmann Equation. 3. The Diffusion Equation. 4.
