Abstract

In this article, a coupled Two-relaxation-time Lattice Boltzmann-Volume penalization (TRT-LBM-VP) method is presented to simulate flows past obstacles. Two relaxation times are used in the collision operator, of which one is related to the fluid viscosity and the other one is related to the numerical stability and accuracy. The volume penalization method is introduced into the TRT-LBM by an external forcing term. In the procedure of the TRT-LBM-VP, the processes of interpolating velocities on the boundaries points and distributing the force density to the Eulerian points are unneeded. Performing the TRT-LBM-VP on a certain point, only the variables of this point are needed. As a consequence, the TRT-LBM-VP can be conducted parallelly. From the comparison between the result of the cylindrical Couette flow solved by the TRT-LBM-VP and that solved by the Single-relaxation-time LBM-VP (SRT-LBM-VP), the accuracy of the TRT-LBM-VP is higher than that of the SRT-LBM-VP. Flows past a single circular cylinder, a pair of cylinders in tandem and side-by-side arrangements, two counter-rotating cylinders and a NACA-0012 airfoil are chosen as numerical experiments to verify the present method further. Good agreements between the present results and those in the previous literatures are achieved.
