Abstract:
Compressible lattice Boltzmann model on standard lattices [M. H. Saadat, F. Bösch, and I. V. Karlin, Phys. Rev. E 99, 013306 (2019).2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.99.013306] is extended to deal with complex flows on unstructured grid. Semi-Lagrangian propagation [A. Krämer et al., Phys. Rev. E 95, 023305 (2017).2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.95.023305] is performed on an unstructured second-order accurate finite-element mesh and a consistent wall boundary condition is implemented which makes it possible to simulate compressible flows over complex geometries. The model is validated through simulation of Sod shock tube, subsonic and supersonic flow over NACA0012 airfoil and shock-vortex interaction in Schardin's problem. Numerical results demonstrate that the present model on standard lattices is able to simulate compressible flows involving shock waves on unstructured meshes with good accuracy and without using any artificial dissipation or limiter.
