The goal of this work is to advance the characteristics of existing lattice Boltzmann Dirichlet velocity boundary schemes in terms of the accuracy, locality, stability, and mass conservation for arbitrarily grid-inclined straight walls, curved surfaces, and narrow fluid gaps, for both creeping and inertial flow regimes. We reach this objective with...

Slip flows in ducts are important in numerous engineering applications, most notably in microchannel flows. Compared to the standard no‐slip Dirichlet condition, the case of slip formulates as a Robin‐type condition for the fluid tangential velocity. Such an increase in mathematical complexity is accompanied by a more challenging numerical transcri...

We propose a procedure to implement Dirichlet velocity boundary conditions for complex shapes that use data from a single node only, in the context of the lattice Boltzmann method. Two ideas are at the base of this approach. The first is to generalize the geometrical description of boundary conditions combining bounce-back rule with interpolations....

We introduce two new approaches, called A-LSOB and N-MR, for boundary and interface-conjugate conditions on flat or curved surface shapes in the advection-diffusion lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). The Local Second-Order, single-node A-LSOB enhances the existing Dirichlet and Neumann normal boundary treatments with respect to locality, accuracy, and...

The scalar field and the non-equilibrium solutions of the linear advection-diffusion d2Q9 Lattice Boltzmann (LBM) two-relaxation-times (TRT) scheme are constructed analytically. The scheme copes with an infinite number of suitable, second-order accurate, equilibrium weights. Here, the simplest, translation-invariant geometry with an implicitly loca...

We introduce the steady-state two-relaxation-time (TRT) Lattice Boltzmann method. Owing to the symmetry argument, the bulk system and the closure equations are all expressed in terms of the equilibrium and non-equilibrium unknowns with the half discrete velocity set. The local mass-conservation solvability condition is adjusted to match the station...

This work addresses the Dirichlet boundary condition for momentum in the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), with focus on the steady-state Stokes flow modelling inside non-trivial shaped ducts. For this task, we revisit a local and highly accurate boundary scheme, called the local second-order boundary (LSOB) method. This work reformulates the LSOB wi...

A simple local two-relaxation-time Lattice Boltzmann numerical formulation (TRT-EMM) of the extended method of moments (EMM) is proposed for analysis of the spatial and temporal Taylor dispersion in d-dimensional streamwise-periodic stationary mesoscopic velocity field resolved in a piecewise-continuous porous media. The method provides an effectiv...

The extended method of moments (EMM) is elaborated in recursive algorithmic form for the prediction of the effective diffusivity, the Taylor dispersion dyadic and the associated longitudinal high-order coefficients in mean-concentration profiles and residence-time distributions. The method applies in any streamwise-periodic stationary d-dimensional...

The effect of the heterogeneity in the soil structure or the nonuniformity of the velocity field on the modeled resident time distribution (RTD) and breakthrough curves is quantified by their moments. While the first moment provides the effective velocity, the second moment is related to the longitudinal dispersion coefficient (kT) in the developed...

Impact of the unphysical tangential advective-diffusion constraint of the bounce-back (BB) reflection on the impermeable solid surface is examined for the first four moments of concentration. Despite the number of recent improvements for the Neumann condition in the lattice Boltzmann method–advection-diffusion equation, the BB rule remains the only...

An analytical study is devised for the problem of bimodal porous flow across a periodic array of permeable cylindrical inclusions. Such a configuration is particularly relevant for porous media systems of dual granulometry, an idealization often taken, e.g. in the modelling of membranes and fibrous applications. The double-porosity system is govern...

This work demonstrates that in advection–diffusion Lattice Boltzmann schemes, the local mass-conserving boundary rules, such as bounce-back and local specular reflection, may modify the transport coefficients predicted by the Chapman–Enskog expansion when they enforce to zero not only the normal, but also the tangential boundary flux. In order to a...

Using as a benchmark the porous flow in a square array of solid or permeable cylindrical obstacles, we evaluate the numerical performance of the two-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann method (TRT–LBM) and the linear finite element method (FEM). We analyze the bulk, boundary and interface properties of the Brinkman-based schemes in staircase discreti...

This work focuses on the numerical solution of the Stokes-Brinkman equation for a voxel-type porous-media grid, resolved by one to eight spacings per permeability contrast of 1 to 10 orders in magnitude. It is first analytically demonstrated that the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and the linear-finite-element method (FEM) both suffer from the visc...

Using as a benchmark the porous flow in a square array of solid or permeable cylindrical obstacles, we evaluate the numerical performance of the two-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann method (TRT–LBM) and the linear finite element method (FEM). We analyze the bulk, boundary and interface properties of the Brinkman-based schemes in staircase discreti...

This article describes a generalization of the method of moments, called extended method of moments (EMM), for dispersion in periodic structures composed of impermeable or permeable porous inclusions. Prescribing pre-computed steady state velocity field in a single periodic cell, the EMM sequentially solves specific linear stationary advection-diff...

In this Comment on the recent work (Zhu and Ma, 2013) [11] by Zhu and Ma (ZM) we first show that all three local gray Lattice Boltzmann (GLB) schemes in the form (Zhu and Ma, 2013) [11]: GS (Chen and Zhu, 2008; Gao and Sharma, 1994) [1,4], WBS (Walsh et al., 2009) [12] and ZM, fail to get constant Darcy’s velocity in series of porous blocks. This i...

This paper develops a symmetrized framework for the analysis of the anisotropic advection–diffusion Lattice Boltzmann schemes. Two main approaches build the anisotropic diffusion coefficients either from the anisotropic anti-symmetric collision matrix or from the anisotropic symmetric equilibrium distribution. We combine and extend existing approac...

This paper establishes relations between the stability and the high-order truncated corrections for modeling of the mass conservation equation with the two-relaxation-times (TRT) collision operator. First we propose a simple method to derive the truncation errors from the exact, central-difference type, recurrence equations of the TRT scheme. They...

The recent advances in 3-D imaging of porous structures have generated a tremendous interest in the simulation of complex single and two-phase flows. Lattice-Boltzmann (LB) schemes present a powerful tool to solve the flow field directly from the binarized 3-D images. However, as viscosity often plays an important role, the LB scheme should correct...

In general, explicit numerical schemes are only conditionally stable. A particularity of lattice Boltzmann multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) schemes is the presence of free (''kinetic'') relaxation parameters. They do not appear in the transport coefficients of the modelled second-order (macroscopic) equations but they have an impact on the effective...

Despite the growing popularity of Lattice Boltzmann schemes for describing multi-dimensional flow and transport governed by non-linear (anisotropic) advection-diffusion equations, there are very few analytical results on their stability, even for the isotropic linear equation. In this paper, the optimal two-relaxation-time (OTRT) model is defined,...

We prove for generic steady solutions of the Lattice Boltzmann (LB) models that the variation of the numerical errors is set by specific combinations (called “magic numbers”) of the relaxation rates associated with the symmetric and anti-symmetric collision moments. Given the governing dimensionless physical parameters, such as the Reynolds or Pecl...

We show that a consistent modeling of porous flows needs at least one free collision relaxation rate to avoid a nonlinear dependency of the numerical errors on the viscosity. This condition is necessary to get the viscosity-independent permeability from the Stokes flow and to parametrize properly (with nondimensional physical numbers) the lattice B...

We develop a two-relaxation-time (TRT) Lattice Boltzmann model for hy-drodynamic equations with variable source terms based on equivalent equilibrium functions. A special parametrization of the free relaxation parameter is derived. It controls, in addition to the non-dimensional hydrodynamic numbers, any TRT macro-scopic steady solution and governs...

For simple hydrodynamic solutions, where the pressure and the velocity are polynomial functions of the coordinates, exact microscopic solutions are constructed for the two-relaxation-time (TRT) Lattice Boltzmann model with variable forcing and supported by exact boundary schemes. We show how simple numerical and analytical solutions can be interrel...

We present analytical and Lattice Boltzmann (LB) solutions for steady-state saturated flows in 2D and 3D anisotropic heterogeneous aquifers. The analytical solution is easy to use and extends the known ones for ground-water whirls to more general combinations of the anisotropic properties of two-layered systems. The Bakker and Hemker’s “multi-layer...

Research conducted for the last 35 years has shown that subsurface drainage has a significant impact on hydrology and contaminant transport. This can be observed at the field-scale and also at the watershed scale. Impacts are always associated with modifying otherwise natural flow paths. Most computer model representations of drainage have been dra...

Irrespective of the nature of the modeled conservation laws, we establish first the microscopic interface continuity conditions for Lattice Boltzmann (LB) multiple-relaxation time, link-wise collision operators with discontinuous components (equilibrium functions and/or relaxation parameters). Effective macroscopic continuity conditions are derived...

This paper addresses the numerical solution of highly nonlinear parabolic equations with Lattice Boltzmann techniques. They are first developed for generic advection and anisotropic dispersion equations (AADE). Collision configurations handle the anisotropic diffusion forms by using either anisotropic eigenvalue sets or anisotropic equilibrium func...

This paper presents a model to simulate overland flow genesis induced by shallow water table movements in hillslopes. Variably saturated subsurface flows are governed by the Richards equation discretized by continuous finite elements on unstructured meshes. An obstacle-type formulation is used to determine where saturation conditions, and thus seep...

We address a “multi-reflection” approach to model Dirichlet and Neumann time-dependent boundary conditions in lattice Boltzmann methods for arbitrarily shaped surfaces. The multi-reflection condition for an incoming population represents a linear combination of the known population solutions. The closure relations are first established for symmetri...

We extend lattice Boltzmann (LB) methods to advection and anisotropic-dispersion equations (AADE). LB methods are advocated for the exactness of their conservation laws, the handling of different length and time scales for flow/transport problems, their locality and extreme simplicity. Their extension to anisotropic collision operators (L-model) an...

A Lattice Boltzmann model with two relaxation times for the 2D/3D advection and anisotropic diffusion equation (AADE) is introduced. The method is applied to Richards' equation for variably saturated flow in isotropic homogeneous media by extending retention curves into the saturated zone in a linear manner. The Darcy velocity is computed locally f...

We present a general framework for several previously introduced boundary conditions for lattice Boltzmann models, such as the bounce-back rule and the linear and quadratic interpolations. The objectives are twofold: first to give theoretical tools to study the existing link-type boundary conditions and their corresponding accuracy; second to desig...

A generalized lattice Boltzmann model to simulate free-surface is constructed in both two and three dimensions. The proposed model satisfies the interfacial boundary conditions accurately. A distinctive feature of the model is that the collision processes is carried out only on the points occupied partially or fully by the fluid. To maintain a shar...

This article provides a concise exposition of the multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann equation, with examples of 15-velocity and 19-velocity models in three dimensions. Simulation of a diagonally lid-driven cavity flow in three dimensions at Re = 500 and 2000 is performed. The results clearly demonstrate the superior numerical stability of t...

The filling process of viscoplastic metal alloys and plastics in expanding cavities is modelled using the lattice Boltzmann method in two and three dimensions. These models combine the regularized Bingham model for viscoplastic fluids with a free-interface algorithm. The latter is based on a modified immiscible lattice Boltzmann model in which one...

A two-phase 2D model that combines the volume of fluid (VOF) method with implicit staggered finite volumes discretization of the Navier–Stokes equation is presented. Staggered finite volumes are developed on the basis of nonconforming Crouzeix–Raviart finite elements, where all components of the velocity lie in the middle of the element edges and t...

In this paper we present new Volume of Fluid two phase model with surface tension. The model is based on the staggered, implicit in time Finite Volume discretization of basic equations, using so called rotated elements. Interface adaptive and/or interface aligned deformable grids are reconstructed at each time step with help of the Piecewise Linear...

A new way to implement solid obstacles in lattice Boltzmann models is presented. The unknown populations at the boundary nodes are derived from the locally known populations with the help of a second-order Chapman-Enskog expansion and Dirichlet boundary conditions with a given momentum. Steady flows near a flat wall, arbitrarily inclined with respe...

Surface tension in ILB models for fluids with different viscosities and different numbers of rest populations is derived, starting from the so-called mechanical definition. It is shown that the standard perturbation, inserted into these models in order to create surface tension, should be slightly modified for models with different viscosities in o...

In the continuum limit, the velocity of a Newtonian fluid should vanish at a solid wall. This condition is studied for the FCHC lattice Boltzmann model with rest particles. This goal is achieved by expanding the mean populations up to the second order in terms of the ratio $\varepsilon$ between the lattice unit and a characteristic overall size of...

We introduce a lattice Boltzman (LB) method with free interface. At the front, unknown populations are reconstructed in the form of first-order Chapman-Enskog expansion which satisfies macroscopic conditions at gas-liquid interface. The method is applied to filling processes in injection moulding. We show that LB solution for convection-diffusion p...
