Unlike previous models in the literature, the present model not only enables the study of multicomponent flows with different molecular weights, different viscosities and different Schmidt numbers, but also ensures that the distribution function of each component evolves on the same square lattice without invoking ad- ditional interpolations. Furthermore, the Chapman-Enskog analysis shows that the present model results in the correct hydrodynamic equations, and satisfies the indifferentiability principle. The numerical validation exercises further demonstrate that the favorable performance of the present model.展开更多

文摘In this paper, a pseudopotential-based multiplerelaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model is proposed for multicomponent/multiphase flow systems. Unlike previous models in the literature, the present model not only enables the study of multicomponent flows with different molecular weights, different viscosities and different Schmidt numbers, but also ensures that the distribution function of each component evolves on the same square lattice without invoking ad- ditional interpolations. Furthermore, the Chapman-Enskog analysis shows that the present model results in the correct hydrodynamic equations, and satisfies the indifferentiability principle. The numerical validation exercises further demonstrate that the favorable performance of the present model.
