A Lattice Boltzmann method for simulations of liquid-vapor thermal flows

Fluid Dynamics 2009-11-07 v1 Computational Physics

Abstract

We present a novel lattice Boltzmann method that has a capability of simulating thermodynamic multiphase flows. This approach is fully thermodynamically consistent at the macroscopic level. Using this new method, a liquid-vapor boiling process, including liquid-vapor formation and coalescence together with a full coupling of temperature, is simulated for the first time.
