A large-eddy-based lattice Boltzmann model for turbulent flow simulation

摘要

In this paper a novel and simple large-eddy-based lattice Boltzmann model is proposed to simulate two-dimensional turbulence. Unlike existing lattice Boltzmann models for turbulent flow simulation, which were based on primitive-variables Navier–Stokes equations, the target macroscopic equations of the present model are vorticity-streamfunction equations. Thanks to the intrinsic features of vorticity-streamfunction equations, the present model is efficient, stable and simple for two-dimensional turbulence simulation. The advantages of the present model are validated by numerical experiments.
