A compressible lattice Boltzmann model is established on a square lattice. The model allows large variations in the mean velocity by introducing a large particle-velocity set. To maintain tractability, the support set of the equilibrium distribution is chosen to include only four directions and thre

โฆ Synopsis
a b s t r a c t
In this paper, a lattice-Boltzmann equation (LBE) with multi relaxation times (MRT) is presented for axisymmetric flows. The model is an extension of a recent model with single-relaxation-time [Guo et al., Phys. Rev. E 79, 046708 (2009)], which was developed based on the axisymmetric Boltzmann equation. Due to the use of the MRT collision model, the present model can achieve better numerical stability. The model is validated by some numerical tests including the Hagen-Poiseuille flow, the pulsatile Womersley flow, and the external flow over a sphere. Numerical results are in excellent agreement with analytical solutions or other available data, and the improvement in numerical stability is also confirmed.

Two of the major challenges in extending the application of multiphase lattice-Boltzmann (LB) models to realistic fluid flow simulations are their numerical instability at high liquid-to-gas density ratios, and at low viscosities. In this paper, a model, recently presented in the literature, for sim
