Title: Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of Fluid Flow with Complex Geometrical Boundaries
Abstract: In this study, a numerical simulation of fluid flow in porous media has been carried out by using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) which is a new mesoscopic approach from statistical dynamics of particles repeating collisions and propagations. The data of solid boundary in the flow field are based on the structure of Ni-Cr sintered alloy measured with micro-focus X-ray computer tomography system with 10μm-order resolution. In the numerical result, it is observed that the fluid moves through complicated micro-scale channels due to non-uniform porosity in the media. This indicates the applicability of LBM to microscopic analysis of fluid flow through geomaterials.
