Applications of Lattice Boltzmann Method in CFD Simulations

CFD as a powerful tool for flow simulation is used for design and troubleshooting of processes by researchers and engineers. Beside the many advantages of CFD, one of the problems is time consuming of this simulation scheme especially in complex geometries such as porous media. Lattice Boltzmann Modeling (LBM) as a new approach has been developed recently as a solution for this difficulty. In this work, LBM has been introduced as a new approach for flow simulations through complex geometries. The limitations, advantages and difference of this method with other conventional methods in CFD have been discussed. Some applications ofLBMhave been reportedfinally.
