A LATTICE BOLTZMANN SUBGRID MODEL FOR LID-DRIVEN CAVITY FLOW
摘要
In recent years, the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) has developed into an alternative and promising numerical scheme for simulating fluid flows and modeling physics in fluids. In order to propose LBM for high Reynolds number fluid flow applications, a subgrid turbulence model for LBM was introduced based on standard Smagorinsky subgrid model and Lattice Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (LBGK) model. The subgrid LBGK model was subsequently used to simulate the two-dimensional driven cavity flow at high Reynolds numbers. The simulation results including distribution of stream lines, dimensionless velocities distribution, values of stream function, as well as location of vertex center, were compared with benchmark solutions, with satisfactory agreements.
