Towards full molecular gas dynamics simulations of complex flows via the Boltzmann equation
arXiv (Cornell University)(2023)
摘要
This work explores the capability of simulating complex fluid flows by directly solving the Boltzmann equation. Due to the high-dimensionality of the governing equation, the substantial computational cost of solving the Boltzmann equation has generally limited its application to simpler, two-dimensional flow problems. Utilizing a combination of high-order spatial discretizations and discretely-conservative velocity models along with their highly-efficient implementation on massively-parallel GPU computing architectures, we demonstrate the current ability of directly solving the Boltzmann equation augmented with the BGK collision model for complex, three-dimensional flows. Numerical results are presented for a variety of these problems including rarefied microchannels, transitional and turbulent flows, and high-speed atmospheric re-entry vehicles, showcasing the ability of the approach in accurately predicting complex nonlinear flow phenomena and non-equilibrium effects.
