Instead of solving the Navier-Stokes equation, the discrete Boltzmann equaation is solved to simulate the flow of a Newtonian fluid with collision models such as Bhatnagar-Bross-Kook (BGK). By simulating the interaction of a limited number of particles the viscous flow behavior emerges automatically from the intrinsic particle streaming and collision processes. The LB method has been accepted as a new computational tool for a variety of fluid transport phenomena. It was applied to incompressible fluid flows, transport of passive scalars, miscible and immiscible fluids in complex geometries and two-phase flow with phase change. The kinetic nature of the LB method was also shown to be applicable to simulation of chemical reaction in micro- and meso-scopic flow and electrokinetic transport phenomena.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div id=\"panel-290-0-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_widget_sp_image widget_sp_image panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"745\" height=\"450\" class=\"attachment-full aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/greentech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/2018\/06\/LBM.jpg 745w, https:\/\/research.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/greentech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/2018\/06\/LBM-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px\" src=\"https:\/\/research.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/greentech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/2018\/06\/LBM.jpg\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM)\u00a0is a class of computation fluid dynamics (CFD) methods for fluid simulation.
