We use a lattice Boltzmann (LB) kinetic scheme for modelling amphiphilic fluids that correctly predicts rheological effects in flow. No macroscopic parameters are included in the model. Instead, three-dimensional hydrodynamic and rheological effects are emergent from the underlying particulate conservation laws and interactions. We report evidence of shear thinning and viscoelastic flow for a self-assembled gyroid mesophase. This purely kinetic approach is of general importance for the modelling and simulation of complex fluid flows in situations when rheological properties cannot be predicted a priori.

Engineering applications of computationalfluiddynamics typically require specification of the boundary conditions at the inlet and at the outlet. It is known that the accuracy and stability of simulations is greatly influenced by the boundary conditions even at moderate Reynolds numbers. In this paper, we derive a new outflow boundary condition for the lattice Boltzmann simulations from non-equilibrium thermodynamics and Grad's moment closure. The proposed boundary condition is validated with a three-dimensional simulation of a backward facing step flow. Results demonstrate that the new outlet condition significantly extends the simulation capability of the lattice Boltzmann method.

Diffuse reflection boundary conditions are introduced in a two-dimensional thermal lattice Boltzmann model to allow for variable fluid density along the walls. The capability of this model to capture the main characteristics of pressure-driven flow in microchannels (temperature drop, rarefaction effects, velocity slip and the minimum of the flow rate as a function of the Knudsen number) is checked.

Various experiments have found a boundaryslip in hydrophobic microchannel flows, but a consistent understanding of the results is still lacking. While Molecular dynamics ( MD) simulations cannot reach the low shear rates and large system sizes of the experiments, it is often impossible to resolve the needed details with macroscopic approaches. We model the interaction between hydrophobic channel walls and a fluid by means of a multi-phase lattice Boltzmann model. Our mesoscopic approach overcomes the limitations of MD simulations and can reach the small flow velocities of known experiments. We reproduce results from experiments at small Knudsen numbers and other simulations, namelyan increase of slip with increasing liquid-solid interactions, the slip being independent of the. ow velocity, and a decreasing slip with increasing bulk pressure. Within our model we develop a semi-analytic approximation of the dependence of the slip on the pressure.

The Lattice Boltzmann method offers an appealing potential for simulation of fluid flows. However, the intrinsic coupling of momentum and space discretization restricts the applicability of the traditional Lattice Boltzmann method to uniform, regular lattices which is often disadvantageous in practice. Available off-lattice Boltzmann algorithms have stability problems which are to be handled at the expense of additional computational cost. Here, we propose and validate a general characteristic-based algorithm for off-lattice Boltzmann simulations that preserves all appealing properties of the standard Lattice Boltzmann method while extending the method to unstructured grids. Both, finite-element and finite-difference implementations of the algorithms are exemplified.

Textile cardiovascular prostheses are tubular structures made of polyester. laments. They present particular mechanical properties linked to wavy form of their walls allowing them to stretch under pressure. Pulsatile blood flow was studied in a moving walls vascular prosthesis. First, an image processing device was used to measure prosthesis displacement under air pressure in an free end impregnated tex-textile prosthesis. Then, fluid-structure interaction is simulated with a numerical computation code allowing tile to couple prosthesis walls motion with blood flow. Navier-Stokes equations governing fluid flow are nu-numerically solved with N3S code based on finite elements method. The numerical process is based on the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian ( ALE) formulation allowing moving domains. The obtained results showed a particular distribution of blood flow velocities and shear stress near the graft walls. The flow velocity distribution near a prosthetic surface is strongly influenced by the crimping morphology and deformation. A local flow analysis is imperative to understanding pathologies implying hemodynamic factors and to optimize the prosthesis design.

We present a hierarchical algorithm for the adaptation of numerical solvers in high energy astrophysics. This approach is based on clustering the entries of the global Jacobian in a hierarchical manner that enables employing a variety of solution procedures ranging from a purely explicit time-stepping up to fully implicit schemes. A gradual coupling of the radiative MHD equation with the radiative transfer equation in higher dimensions is possible. Using this approach, it is possible to follow the evolution of strongly time-dependent flows with low/high accuracies and with efficiency comparable to explicit methods, as well as searching quasi-stationary solutions for highly viscous flows. In particular, it is shown that the hierarchical approach is capable of modeling the formation of jets in active galactic nuclei and reproduce the corresponding spectral energy distribution with a reasonable accuracy.

This paper presents the development of a reduced-order model (ROM) for dynamics of non-reactive, isothermal fluidized beds, based on the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method. Several implementations of this ROM were developed for a two-dimensional bubbling fluidized bed using numerical results from a full computationalfluiddynamics (CFD) simulation of the bed. The solutions of the ROM were used to investigate the influence of the size of the particles on the motion of the bed. The solutions of the ROM were compared with the full model solutions for different particle diameters. The differences between the ROM and the full order solutions (the CFD results) were less than 3% within the range of diameters used for POD generation. The computational time of the ROM varied between 25 and 33% of the computational time of the full CFD solution. The computational speed-up depended on the complexity of the transport phenomena, the ROM methodology and the reconstruction error. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All right reserved.

This letter describes the treatment of unsteady liquid flow by a hybrid particle-continuum scheme. The scheme couples a particle region described by molecular dynamics with a coarse-grained domain solved by continuum fluiddynamics. The particle and continuum domains overlap in the coupling region, where two-way transfer of momentum flux is established. We demonstrate that this flux-coupling scheme is able to describe high-frequency oscillatory flows and to ensure the continuity of velocity across the particle-continuum interface. The effect of fluctuations within the particle system is also analysed and establishes the range in frequency and flow wave number for which hydrodynamic fluctuations need to be taken into account within the continuum description.
