SHEAR-THINNING FLUID FLOW MEDIA: A STUDY OF BO USING LATTICE BOLTZM IN POROUS UNDARY BEHAVIOUR ANN METHOD

Simulation of fluid flow in porous media using lattice Boltzmann method depends on how effectively collision, streaming and boundary conditions are implemented at micro level in view of the macroscopic behaviour of f streaming have been extensively researched and attained effective formulation, boundary conditions still remains to be studied thoroughly. This paper studies various boundary conditions that are defined to simulate non media using lattice Boltzmann method. Further, these conditions are applied to simulate the problem of non variation in flow regimes and rate of heat transfer is studied based on the v velocity and thermal boundary behavior. Though velocity boundary conditions did not produce any difference in the flow regimes, thermal boundary conditions produced significant variation in rate of heat transfer. luid.
