Analysis and reduction of the spurious current in a class of multiphase lattice Boltzmann models

Abstract:
We show that the spurious current present near a curved interface in a class of multiphase lattice Boltzmann (LB) models is due to the insufficient isotropy of the discrete gradient operator. A method of obtaining highly isotropic gradient operators on a lattice is given. Numerical simulations show that both the magnitude and the spatial extent of the spurious current are significantly reduced as gradient operators of increasingly higher order of isotropy is adopted in multiphase LB models.

Current Source in One Mesh: The analysis process is straightforward when a current source is found in only one mesh within the circuit. Mesh currents are assigned as usual, with the mesh containing the current source excluded from the analysis. Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL)...
