Lattice Boltzmann simulations of three-dimensional, isothermal hydrodynamics often use either the D3Q19 or the D3Q27 velocity sets. While both models correctly approximate Navier-Stokes in the continuum limit, the D3Q19 model is…

Several applications exist in which lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM) are used to compute stationary states of fluid motions, particularly those driven or modulated by external forces. Standard LBM, being explicit time-marching in nature,…
The performance of standard stochastic approximation implementations can vary significantly based on the choice of the steplength sequence, and in general, little guidance is provided about good choices. Motivated by this gap, in the first…
