Learning Modules (2023)

Jan-2023

Lattice Boltzmann Method: let’s suit up! Part I

Speaker: Alessandro De Rosis (University of Manchester)

Date & time: 17th Jan (Hybrid event at Engineering Building A: 2A.032 + Zoom)

Note: This is a hands-on session. Please bring your laptop.

Learning objectives

Describe the link between macroscopic and microscopic scales.
Illustrate the motivation behind the origin of the lattice Boltzmann method
Outline its algorithmic procedure.
Implement your first LBM code with periodic boundaries.
Implement your (second) LBM code with no-slip walls.
Evaluate accuracy, convergence and stability
Identify and quantify the sources of errors.

Course materials: All you need to bring is your laptop equipped with

A C++ compiler to run the programs;
Gnuplot or Excel to plot graphs;
Paraview (https://www.paraview.org/download/) to visualise contour maps.
