A unified incompressible lattice BGK model and its application to three-dimensional lid-driven cavity flow

摘要

A unified lattice Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (ILBGK) model iDdQq for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is presented. To test its efficiency, the lid-driven cavity flow in three-dimensional space for Reynolds number Re = 3200 and span aspect ratio SAR = 1, 2 and 3 is simulated in detail on a 48 * 48 * (48 * SAR) uniform lattice using the model. The test results agree well with those in previous experiments and numerical works and show the efficiency and strong numerical stability of the proposed ILBGK model.
