Abstract

High performance computations of fluid flow and heat transfer through complex porous medium structures are performed for various structures by the Non-dimensional Lattice Boltzmann Method (NDLBM) with a Controllable Structure Generation Scheme (CSGS). The CSGS based on discrete Gaussian quadrature space and velocity is presented and used to generate multiple-phase random isotropic homogenous and shape-constrained anisotropic heterogeneous structures. The primary advantage of the CSGS over the existing random structure generation growth method is the ability to model a wide variety of structures by controlling the shape through only a few simple integer constraint indexes. Four packed structure types (shapeless random, separated solid shapes, separated random-filled shapes, and random-mixture-filled shapes) are shown. Three-dimensional thermal diffusion and nature convection flow are simulated by the NDLBM. The results reveal how the mesoscopic shape of a structure impacts fluid flow and heat transfer patterns.
