In particular, the LBM formulation was augmented by the addition of two transport equations for the probability distribution function of populations of k and 8. The discrete random walk model was used to generate the instanta- neous turbulence fluctuations. For turbulent channel flows, the analytical fits to the root mean-square velocity fluctuations obtained by the direct numerical simulation of the turbulent flow were used in the analysis. Attention was given to the proper evaluation of the wall normal turbulent velocity fluctuations particularly near the wall. The simulation results were compared with the available numerical simulation and experimental data. The new LBM-RANS model is shown to provide a reasonably accurate description of turbulent flows and particle transport and deposition at modest computational cost.展开更多
