Direct Simulation of Fluid Transport at Solid Interfaces with a Multiscale Lattice-Boltzmann Finite-Volume Method

Abstract

It is shown that the combined use of a mesoscopic lattice Boltzmann solver with finite-volume techniques, both enriched with local-refinement (multiscale) capabilities, permits to describe transport phenomena at fluid-solid interfaces to a degree of detail which may help dispensing with empirical correlations.
