Abstract A thermal lattice Boltzmann model for incompressible flow is developed and extended to investigate the natural convection flow in porous media under the effect of uniform magnetic field. The study shows that the flow behaviour is various parameters dependent. The Rayleigh number (Ra), Hartmann number (Ha), Darcy number (Da) and the medium inclination angle from the horizontal (Φ), the magnetic field orientation (ψ) and the medium porosity (ε) effects are carried out in wide ranges encountered in industrial and engineering applications. It was found that the flow and temperature patterns change significantly when varying these parameters. To confirm More >

A High-order Compact Local Integrated-RBF Scheme for Steady-state Incompressible Viscous Flows in the Primitive Variables
N. Thai-Quang¹, K. Le-Cao¹, N. Mai-Duy¹, T. Tran-Cong¹
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.84, No.6, pp. 528-558, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.084.528
Abstract This study is concerned with the development of integrated radial-basis-function (IRBF) method for the simulation of two-dimensional steady-state incompressible viscous flows governed by the pressure-velocity formulation on Cartesian grids. Instead of using low-order polynomial interpolants, a high-order compact local IRBF scheme is employed to represent the convection and diffusion terms. Furthermore, an effective boundary treatment for the pressure variable, where Neumann boundary conditions are transformed into Dirichlet ones, is proposed. This transformation is based on global 1D-IRBF approximators using values of the pressure at interior nodes along a grid line and first-order derivative values of… More >

Numerical Investigation of Fluid and Thermal Flow in a Differentially Heated Side Enclosure Walls at Various Inclination Angles
C.S. Nor Azwadi¹, N.I.N. Izual²
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.84, No.6, pp. 559-574, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.084.559
Abstract Natural convection in a differentially heated enclosure plays vital role in engineering applications such as nuclear reactor, electronic cooling technologies, roof ventilation, etc. The developed thermal flow patterns induced by the density difference are expected to be critically dependence on the inclination angles of the cavity. Hence, thermal and fluid flow pattern inside a differentially heated side enclosure walls with various inclination angles have been investigated numerically using the mesoscale lattice Boltzmann scheme. Three different dimensionless Rayleigh numbers were used, and a dimensionless Prandtl number of 0.71 was set to simulate the circulation of air More >

A Globally Optimal Iterative Algorithm Using the Best Descent Vector x^· = λ[α_cF + B^TF], with the Critical Value α_c, for Solving a System of Nonlinear Algebraic Equations F(x) = 0
Chein-Shan Liu¹, Satya N. Atluri²
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.84, No.6, pp. 575-602, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.084.575
Abstract An iterative algorithm based on the concept of best descent vector u in x^· = λu is proposed to solve a system of nonlinear algebraic equations (NAEs): F(x) = 0. In terms of the residual vector F and a monotonically increasing positive function Q(t) of a time-like variable t, we define a future cone in the Minkowski space, wherein the discrete dynamics of the proposed algorithm evolves. A new method to approximate the best descent vector is developed, and we find a critical value of the weighting parameter α_c in the best descent vector u = α_cF + B^TF, where B = ∂F/∂x is the More >
