摘要
In this paper, a double distribution lattice Boltzmann model for axisymmetric thermal flow is proposed. In the model, the flow field is solved by a multi-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann scheme while the temperature field by a newly proposed lattice-kinetic-based Boltzmann scheme. Chapman-Enskog analysis demonstrates that the axisymmetric energy equation in the cylindrical coordinate system can be recovered by the present lattice-kinetic-based Boltzmann scheme for temperature field. Numerical tests, including the thermal Hagen-Poiseuille flow and natural convection in a vertical annulus, have been carried out, and the results predicted by the present model agree well with the existing numerical data. Furthermore, the present model shows better numerical stability than the existing model.
