“…Due to its remarkable computational efficiency and clear representation of the underlying microscopic physics, this model has been used as an efficient technique for simulating and investigating multiphase flow problems, particularly for these flows with complex topological changes of the interface, such as deformation, coalescence and breakup of the fluid phase, or fluid flow in complex geometries [24]. Recently, Chen et al [25] thoroughly reviewed the theory and application of the pseudopential model and we refer to their publication for more details.…”

Abstract:In porous media, pore geometry and wettability are determinant factors for capillary flow in drainage or imbibition. Pores are often considered as cylindrical tubes in analytical or computational studies. Such simplification prevents the capture of phenomena occurring in pore corners. Considering the corners of pores is crucial to realistically study capillary flow and to accurately estimate liquid distribution, degree of saturation and dynamic liquid behavior in pores and in porous media. In this study, capillary flow in polygonal tubes is studied with the Shan-Chen pseudopotential multiphase lattice Boltzmann model (LBM). The LB model is first validated through a contact angle test and a capillary intrusion test. Then capillary rise in square and triangular tubes is simulated and the pore meniscus height is investigated as a function of contact angle θ. Also, the occurrence of fluid in the tube corners, referred to as corner arc menisci, is studied in terms of curvature versus degree of saturation. In polygonal capillary tubes, the number of sides leads to a critical contact angle θ c which is known as a key parameter for the existence of the two configurations. LBM succeeds in simulating the formation of a pore meniscus at θ > θ c or the occurrence of corner arc menisci at θ < θ c . The curvature of corner arc menisci is known to decrease with increasing saturation and decreasing contact angle as described by the Mayer and Stoewe-Princen (MS-P) theory. We obtain simulation results that are in good qualitative and quantitative agreement with the analytical solutions in terms of height of pore meniscus versus contact angle and curvature of corner arc menisci versus saturation degree. LBM is a suitable and promising tool for a better understanding of the complicated phenomena of multiphase flow in porous media.

In this paper, a lattice Boltzmann color-gradient method is compared with a multi-component pseudo-potential lattice Boltzmann model for two test problems: a droplet deformation in a shear°ow and a rising bubble subject to buoyancy forces. With the help of these two problems, the behavior of the two models is compared in situations of competing viscous, capillary and gravity forces. It is found that both models are able to generate relevant scienti¯c results. However, while the color-gradient model is more complex than the pseudo-potential approach, numerical experiments show that it is also more powerful and su®ers fewer limitations.

“…To the best knowledge of the authors, since Shan and Chen pseudopotential LBM model (SC model hereafter) was first brought up by Shan and Chen in 1993 [22][23][24][25], it has been the most widely used multiphase LBM model due to its simplicity and versatility [26]. Therefore, SC model is adopted to simulate the displacement process of water and air in the soil during the freezing process.…”

In the current study, a macroscopic lattice Boltzmann model for simulating the heat and moisture transport phenomenon in unsaturated porous media during the freezing process was proposed. The proposed model adopted percolation threshold to reproduce the extra resistance in frozen fringe during the freezing process. The freezing process in Kanagawa sandy loam soil was demonstrated by the proposed model. The numerical result showed good agreement with the experimental result. The proposed model also offered higher computational efficiency and better agreement with the experimental result than the existing numerical models. Lattice Boltzmann method is suitable for simulating complex heat and mass transfer process in porous media at macroscopic scale under proper dimensionless criterion, which makes it a potentially powerful tool for engineering application.
