“…τ represents the (single) relaxation time towards local equilibrium [19]; M and Λ are the transformation matrix and the (diagonal) matrix of the relaxation parameters, respectively: for the details on thier formulation, the reader is addressed to [43]. More specifically, the Λ vector has s 2 = s 10 = s 12 = s 14 = s 15 = s 16 = ω = 2c 2 s c 2 s +ν and all the other free parameters equal to 1, where ν is the kinematic viscosity and c 2 s is the squared lattice speed of sound.…”

Hydrodynamic behavior of the pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann method for interfacial flows

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is routinely employed in the simulation of complex multiphase flows comprising bulk phases separated by non-ideal interfaces. LBM is intrinsically mesoscale with an hydrodynamic equivalence popularly set by the Chapman-Enskog analysis, requiring that fields slowly vary in space and time. The latter assumptions become questionable close to interfaces, where the method is also known to be affected by spurious non hydrodynamical contributions. This calls for quantitative hydrodynamical checks. In this paper we analyze the hydrodynamic behaviour of LBM pseudo-potential models for the problem of break-up of a liquid ligament triggered by the Plateau-Rayleigh instability. Simulations are performed at fixed interface thickness, while increasing the ligament radius, i.e. in the "sharp interface" limit. Influence of different LBM collision operators is also assessed. We find that different distributions of spurious currents along the interface may change the outcome of the pseudo-potential model simulations quite sensibly, which suggests that a proper fine-tuning of pseudo-potential models in time-dependent problems is needed before the utilization in concrete applications. Taken all together, we argue that the results of the proposed study provide a valuable insight for engineering pseudo-potential model applications involving the hydrodynamics of liquid jets.

“…These original models suffered from well reported limitations such as low density ratios, spurious currents, and non-physical interdependency of parameters [37]. With recent advances [63,28,46,43,41,2], the complexity of the model has increased, but so too has its applicability to fluid flows with high density and viscosity ratios. Yuan and Schaefer [63] were amongst the first to incorporate various equations of state within the pseudopotential framework.…”

Water management, particularly in the gas diffusion layers (GDL), plays an important role in the performance and reliability of the proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In this study, a two-phase multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is employed to simulate water transport in a reconstructed GDL and the effect of perforation shapes is investigated. The revised pseudopotential multiphase model is adopted to realize high-density ratio, good thermodynamic consistency, adjustable surface tension and high contact angle. The transport characteristics are analyzed in both vertical and horizontal transport directions. The LBM simulation provides detailed results in mesoscale and indicates that the surface tension dominates the process of water transport in the perforated GDL, which exhibits unexpectedly similarities in the vertical and horizontal transport. Besides, it is found that the cone-like perforations perform better than cylinder-like perforations as little water clusters together in the bottom of the perforation. Finally, the optimized perforation with defined parameters is derived and discussed, providing guidelines for improving the GDL performance in engineering applications.
