浸没边界-简化热格子Boltzmann方法研究及其应用

针对流固耦合传热问题,本文提出了一种基于浸没边界-简化热格子玻尔兹曼方法(immersed boundary method-simplified thermal lattice Boltzmann method,IB-STLBM)的耦合模型.不同于传统的格子玻尔兹曼方法使用分布函数演化流场和温度场,简化热格子玻尔兹曼方法(simplified thermal lattice Boltzmann method,STLBM)的演化过程不需要依赖分布函数,只涉及平衡态分布函数和非平衡态分布函数,能够直接演化宏观量,极大减小了计算过程中所占用的虚拟内存,简化了边界条件的实现方式,同时具有较高的稳定性.传统的浸没边界法对流场的计算采用欧拉网格,对固体边界采用拉格朗日网格,认为固体边界是对流场产生某种体积力.在应用浸没边界法时,汲取介观的思想,把固体的介入看作是对流场的干扰,打破了固体附近流体介观微团颗粒原始的平衡状态,这种干扰可以看作是在耦合边界上产生的一个非平衡项,可用非平衡态分布函数来表示.基于此,在模型中浸没边界法与简化热格子玻尔兹曼方法更紧密联系在一起,更大程度发挥二者的优点,整个计算过程更加简单直观,符合物理特性.通过对热圆柱绕流和内含热颗粒的封闭方腔自然对流问题的模拟以及对其结果的分析,验证了该算法在求解流固耦合传热问题的有效性和可行性.

LBM伪势MRT三维模型GPU并行计算的性能优化

格子Boltzmann方法伪势模型算法中的格点间计算未完全局部化,因此在并行计算时需要更多次的全局内存读写、使用更多数量的寄存器和线程同步操作,从而导致GPU并行计算效率下降.本文针对伪势模型并行计算的局限性,基于三维十五速格子结构的多松弛时间伪势模型,以气液相分离为算例,通过合并访问的方式提高全局内存的读写效率;并提出一种"定向转移"算法,提高格子边界格点获取邻居格点数据的效率;最后探索不同资源分配中各种因素对计算效率的影响,总结最优资源分配的方法.     

Investigating cross-wind stability of high-speed trains with large-scale parallel CFD

ABSTRACT

The side-wind loading on a simplified train model at scale 1:25 is investigated by parallel large eddy simulation (LES) with incompressible solvers from the OpenFOAM package and a novel dynamically adaptive, parallel LES-type lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) implemented in our own AMROC framework. It is found that the new LBM code provides more accurate time-averaged force predictions, while compute times are reduced.

Lattice Boltzmann study of the interaction between a single solid particle and a thin liquid film

The isothermal single-component multi-phase lattice Boltzmann method(LBM) combined with the particle motion model is used to simulate the detailed process of liquid film rupture induced by a single spherical particle.The entire process of the liquid film rupture can be divided into two stages.In Stage 1,the particle contacts with the liquid film and moves into it due to the interfacial force and finally penetrates the liquid film.Then in Stage 2,the upper and lower liquid surfaces of the thin film are driven by the capillary force and approach to each other along the surface of the particle,resulting in a complete rupture.It is found that a hydrophobic particle with a contact angle of 106.7° shows the shortest rupture duration when the liquid film thickness is less than the particle radius.When the thickness of the liquid film is greater than the immersed depth of the particle at equilibrium,the time of liquid film rupture caused by a hydrophobic particle will be increased.On the other hand,a moderately hydrophilic particle can form a bridge in the middle of the liquid film to enhance the stability of the thin liquid film.     

不连续冷源布局多孔介质内热流耦合LBM数值模拟

为研究不连续冷源边界对内置发热体多孔介质方腔内传热及流动的影响，采用格子Boltzmann方法对REV尺度下多孔介质方腔内的自然对流进行计算，并研究瑞利数（Ra）、达西数（Da）、孔隙度对多孔介质方腔内传热流动的影响.发现Da对方腔内的流体流型影响很大，Da为10^-4时，多孔介质方腔内只有一个涡流，而Da为10^-2时，方腔内有两个涡流.增大Ra、Da、孔隙度可以提高冷源壁面的平均努赛尔数（Nu），增强散热效果，孔隙率对平均Nu影响程度和Da的大小有关.当冷源布置在壁面上方，壁面的平均Nu随Ra的增加剧烈变化，方腔处于高Ra条件下时，将冷源布置在边界的上方可以提高散热效果.6种布置方案中Case 6的散热效果最好.     

Dynamics of Interface Displacement in Capillary Flow

The dynamics of capillary flow has several practical applications in the industry and has been extensively investigated. The main focuses in these studies are the motion of the interface, especially near the three-phase contact line, and the change of contact angle during the invasion process. In this work we present several simulations results of capillary invasion in two- and three-dimensions, using the Lattice–Boltzmann model based on field mediators. We investigate the velocity field near the solid surface, the changes in the contact angle as a consequence of the flow, and the boundary conditions that can be used in the inlet and outlet of the capillary tube. In all simulations the diameter of tube is made large enough to enable the evaluation of the contact angle directly from the density field and the results of capillary rise are compared with a theoretical model based on the Bosanquet equation, which includes capillary, viscous, inertial and gravitational effects.
