Abstract
A complete lattice Boltzmann model combined with immersed boundary method (LB-IBM) is developed to address radiative heat transfer problem in irregularly shaped media. This method investigates radiative heat transfer in two-dimensional uniform/gradient refractive index media with various geometric shapes. The thermal effects generated by irregular boundaries are represented in the form of thermal density and interpolated onto adjacent lattices in the lattice Boltzmann model (LBM). Then, the four-point discrete delta function is used as the interface scheme of the immersed boundary method. Therefore, the standard LBM can effectively solve radiation problems in irregular geometries. The accuracy of the LB-IBM is validated through a comparative analysis with the results predicted by the finite volume method, embedded boundary method, and other numerical methods. Moreover, this paper promotes the application of LBM in radiative heat transfer in irregularly shaped media by providing a straightforward and efficient mesoscopic tool. This lays the foundation for establishing a framework of LBM for unified treatment of convection, conduction and thermal radiation.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
