Numerical analysis on the effects of mixed convection of particles removal flow over heated cavity using Multi-Relaxation Time Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Method

摘要

This paper provides numerical study of the effects of mixed convection on particles removal from a cavity using multi-relaxation time thermal lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for compute the flow and isotherm characteristics in the bottom heated cavity located on a floor of horizontal channel. A point force scheme was applied for particles-fluid interactionand double-distribution function (DFF) was coupled with MRT thermal LBM to study the effects of various grashof number (Gr) and Aspect Ratio (AR) on the efficiency of particles removal. The results show that change in Grashof number and Aspect ratio causes a dramatic different in the flow pattern and particles removal efficiency.
