Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is concerned with recent advances in the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). The LBM has recently matured as a viable alternative to conventional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approaches that employ Finite Volume, Finite Difference or Finite Element approximations of continuum physics equations, mostly Navier-Stokes (NS). Whilst modeling essentially similar physics as classical continuum mechanics NS procedures, LBM features a number of advantages, particularly concerning data locality and parallel computing, but also in terms of stability and dispersion properties. As the method originates from the Boltzmann equation (being a superset of NS), multi-scale modeling (even up to specific kinetic turbulence models) is possible.

This Special Issue aims at highlighting the current state-of-the-art in the field of LBM and future research directions. Both submissions with an academic background as well as more application-oriented contributions are welcome. The addressed fields of research include, but are not limited to:

  • Modeling aspects: Advanced collision operators beyond LBGK and MRT
  • Improved boundary conditions: Curved boundaries, Second-order pressure BCs, Non-reflecting velocity and pressure boundary conditions
  • Alternative gridding and grid-refinement strategies: Non-Cartesian grids, Overset grids, Compact interpolation, Stretched Cartesian grids
  • Turbulence modeling: Conventional eddy-viscosity closure, Wall-adaptive LES, RANS/LES coupling, Wall functions, Implicit LES, Turbulent inflow generators
  • Multiphase flows: High density and viscosity ratios, Hybrid perturbation models, Coupling to (inviscid) far-field methods, Singlephase free-surface models with and without surface tension
  • Performance aspects: HPC implementations on large-scale clusters and/or GPUs, Interactive monitoring, Interactive steering
  • Innovative large-scale applications of practical relevance

This technical paper outlines the predictive performance of a recently published dynamic cumulant lattice Boltzmann method (C-LBM) to model turbulent shear flows at all resolutions. Emphasis is given to a simple strategy that avoids a frequently observed velocity overshoot phenomenon near rigid walls when combining the C-LBM with an all-resolution (universal) wall function. The examples included are confined to turbulent channel flow results for a variety of friction Reynolds numbers within 180 and 50,000, obtained on a sequence of isotropic, homogeneous grids that feature non-dimensional lattice spacings using inner coordinates from 4 to 2200. The results indicate that adjusting the near-wall distance of the first fluid node, i.e., the intersection of the wall with the first lattice edge, to the resolution provides a reasonably simple, robust, and accurate supplement to the all-resolution C-LBM approach. The investigated wall function/C-LBM combination displays a remarkable predictive performance for all investigated resolutions. Full article
