The study of fluid flow via the square channel by using Lattice Boltzmann Method

Abstract

This research studied the flow of fluid through a rectangular barrier with the Lattice Boltzmann Method. The concept of this method relies on the streaming and collision of particles with respect to the conservation laws of mass and momentum. The objective of this research was studied patterns of fluid flow through the obstruction and Reynolds number to affect the flow pattern. The simulation showed that the flow pattern changes from laminar flow to turbulent flow when Reynolds numbers increased. In accordance with the theory.
