Item Lattice boltzmann simulation of double-sided deep cavities at low reynolds number(Pleiades journals, 2019) Kesana, B.; Shetty, V.V.; Arumuga Perumal, D.A.Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been created as an option computational technique conversely with conventional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) strategies. In the present work, the fluid flow of the two-dimensional low Reynolds number flow in a rectangular cavity with two opposite moving lids and different aspect ratios (depth-to-width ratios) is examined using LBM. The impacts of aspect ratio shifting from 1.2 to 10 on vortex structure in the cavity were watched. The streamline patterns were displayed in detail. As the perspective proportion is steadily expanded from 1.2, the stream structure creates the longitudinal way of the cavity and the quantity of vortices step by step increments with the expanding viewpoint proportion. The advancement of bigger external vortices is from the centre of the cavity and observed stream patterns were symmetric about the cavity centre at various proportion. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2019.Item Application of Lattice Boltzmann Method for fluid flow modelling of FSLDR domain(Elsevier Ltd, 2019) Bhatt, T.; Arumuga Perumal, D.A.In this work Lattice Boltzmann method is used to solve the Four Sided lid-driven rectangular cavity flow (FSLDR) problem. The fluid is considered as incompressible. In the present problem all the four walls moves with a constant velocity. The left wall moves in positive y-direction, the right wall moves in negative y-direction. The top wall moves in positive x-direction and the bottom wall moves in negative x-direction. The aspect ratio of the cavity taken is 0.50. The present code is validated for single lid-driven cavity flow problem. Next, the study is extended to FSLSR problem. The position of vortex obtained are studied at Reynolds number Re=50, 100, 500, 1000. In addition to the primary vortex, two secondary vortices are also obtained. Thus, the present study shows that Lattice Boltzmann Method can be used to capture the details of vortex dynamics © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.Item Lattice Boltzmann computation of multiple solutions in a double-sided square and rectangular cavity flows(Elsevier Ltd, 2018) Arumuga Perumal, D.A.This paper uses Lattice Boltzmann computation to obtain multiple fluid flow solutions in square and rectangular cavity that involves movement of the facing and non-facing walls. For some aspect ratios the double-sided lid-driven cavity problem has multiple steady fluid flow solutions. In double-sided rectangular cavities, a single-relaxation-time model is used to over out Lattice Boltzmann computations in order to receive multiple fluid flow solutions. Three numerical examples are taken into consideration on this work. First one is double-sided square cavity with parallel wall movement, double-sided non-facing rectangular lid-driven cavity with parallel wall movement and the final one is the double-sided lid-driven rectangular cavity with antiparallel wall movement. When the walls move in pairs, multiple fluid flow solutions exist above critical Reynolds numbers. In the present work, five multiple solutions of parallel wall movement and seven multiple solutions of antiparallel wall movement is acquired. The boundary conditions used are stable and also correct. It might be inferred that the present mesoscopic Lattice Boltzmann study produces comes about that are in phenomenal similarity with prior customary numerical perceptions. © 2017Item Analysis of Fluid Flows in Bounded Domain with Particular Shape of a Cavity using Lattice Boltzmann Method(Bentham Science Publishers, 2023) Shetty, V.V.; Balashanker, K.; Arumuga Perumal, A.P.; Patel, V.U.The present work numerically models the incompressible, continuous phase, viscous flow of Newtonian fluid flow in a bounded domain of two-dimensional cavity that is driven by walls and contains grooves in the shape of squares on the lower wall. With the help of the mesoscopic lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and D2Q9 square lattice model, simulation results are found stable and reliable. The flow physics of the problem by varying Reynolds number, the height and quantity of lower wall grooves, and other fluid flow characteristics within the bounded domain are studied in detail. It is seen that the effects of the groove heights and wavelengths on the fluid flow are structured within the bounded domain. The study is performed from low Re = 100 to high Re = 3200, with minimum two and maximum four-wavelength grooves evaluated on the bottom surface, each having a height of low 0.25 and high 0.75. Additionally, a thorough discussion of complicated vortex dynamics is provided regarding the input parameters and geometry. Objective: The current study aims to use mesoscopic LBM to analyze incompressible viscous fluid flows on complex geometries other than rectangular shapes. Methods: Mesoscopic approach of kinetic theory-based Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is implemented in the current work. The popular Single Relaxation Time Lattice Boltzmann method with D2Q9 square lattice model and second-order accurate boundary condition is adopted for the current study. Results: The numerical approach of LBM is used to simulate fluid flows in a 2D bounded domain with grooved bottom surfaces. The influence of different factors, such as the height of bottom-wall surface grooves, flow Reynolds number, and wavelength of these grooves on flow patterns, is then investigated. Conclusion: The numerical study of the bounded domain is considered, and the Reynolds number is varied from 100 to 3200, with two and four-wavelength grooves evaluated on the bottom surface, each having a height of 0.25 and 0.75. The impacts on the flow pattern both within and slightly above the grooves of the computational findings for different Reynolds numbers, groove heights, and groove wavelengths are evaluated. As the Reynolds number rises, the mixing phenomenon of fluid is shown to flow more quickly in the wall-driven enclosures. © 2023 Bentham Science Publishers.Item Simulation of fluid flow in a lid-driven cavity with different wave lengths corrugated walls using Lattice Boltzmann method(Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers, 2023) Fatima, N.; Rajan, I.; Arumuga Perumal, D.A.; Anbalagan, A.; Ahmed, S.A.A.; Gorji, M.R.; Ahmad, Z.Background: The Lid-driven cavity (LDC) flow is an interesting problem in fluid mechanics. The lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is used to simulate fluid flow in a LDC with different wave lengths corrugated walls. Methods: The D2Q9 model is used for the 2D bounded domain where the analysis of bottom-bounded wall corrugations on the flow features is analyzed. For validation, a square corrugation along the bottom wall with a driven top wall is considered. A lattice size independence study is performed and the LBM code is substantiated with published results for different values of Reynolds number. The code is then modified by using sinusoidal corrugated walls with different wavelengths along the bottom surface. Significant finding: The streamline patterns, vorticity contours and kinetic energy contours are studied for different Reynolds number. Results shown that the position, number and size of vortices depend on the number of corrugations and value of Reynolds number used. The secondary vortices tend to increase in size as the Reynolds number increase. The kinetic energy contours show maximum energy near the top wall which reduces inside the cavity. © 2023
