Gas-solid fluidized beds are widely applied in many chemical processes involving physical
and/or chemical transformations, and for this reason they are the subject of intense research …

In recent years, stylized forms of the Boltzmann equation, now going by the name of" Lattice
Boltzmann equation"(LBE), have emerged, which relinquish most mathematical complexities …

Lattice-gas cellular automata (LGCA) and lattice Boltzmann models (LBM) are relatively new
and promising methods for the numerical solution of nonlinear partial differential equations …

The confined flow around a cylinder with square cross-section mounted inside a plane
channel (blockage ratio B= 1/8) was investigated in detail by two entirely different numerical …

During the last ten years the lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) method has been developed
as an alternative numerical approach in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Originated …

Fluid flow analyses for porous media are of great importance in a wide range of industrial
applications including, but not limited to, resin transfer moulding, filter analysis, transport of …

The ability to deal with the complex geometries precisely and accurately has always been
the most integral part of any computational fluid dynamics approach. The lattice Boltzmann …

The goal of this article is to contribute to the discussion of the efficiency of lattice-Boltzmann
(LB) methods as CFD solvers. After a short review of the basic model and extensions, we …

We describe a parallel lattice-Boltzmann code for efficient simulation of fluid flow in complex
geometries. The lattice-Boltzmann model and the structure of the code are discussed. The …

Fluid flow and thermal distribution in isothermal forced convection heat transfer through
metal foams are studied. The true geometry of the metal foam samples are obtained by …
