The hypothesis stands up only when the deviation from the local equilibrium is weak. In this case the computation is absolutely stable for real fluids. But for flows of high Reynolds number, this hypothesis is violated and then instability takes place physically. By performing a transformation a quantified stability criteria is put forward without those approximation. From the criteria a sufficient condition for stability can be obtained and serve as an estimation of the limited Reynolds number as high as possible.展开更多

The mass difference resulting from concentration difference led to the fluid flow, and a robust parallel and adaptive mesh refinement algorithm was employed to improve the computational efficiency without any compromising accuracy. Results show that the existence of natural convection would affect the growth undercooling and thus control the interface shape by adjusting the lamellar width. In particular, by alternating the magnitude of the solute expansion coefficient, the strength of the natural convection is changed. Corresponding microstructure patterns are discussed and compared with those under no-convection conditions.展开更多

A multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model for incompressible flow in the cubic cavity and another thermal lattice Boltzmann model for solving energy/temperature equation are proposed. The present models are first validated through a comparison with some available results, and then, we present a detailed parameter study on the mixed convection in the cubic cavity. The numerical results show that the How and temperature patterns change greatly with variations of the Reynolds and Richardson展开更多

The LBGK method is a powerful approach, but is also computationally demanding. Therefore, parallel computing was implemented, and the codes were run on the parallel computer “Lenovo DeepComp 1800” with 24 nodes written in C＋＋ using the Message Passing Interface （MPI） library. Numerical results for natural convection in a cavity with the Rayleigh number （ Ra ） ranging from 10^6 to 4× 10^10 were presented, and found to agree well with the previous work. And with the increase of the resolution rate, the accuracy has been greatly improved. In addition, new models were set up by applying different equilibriums to the CLBGK model to simulate the same problem, which all yield sound results.展开更多
