Abstract

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is an alternative simulation tool describing incompressible fluids. In recent years, it has become clear that the lattice BGK model has limitations for high-accuracy calculations. By contrast, the advanced multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) model is attracting more attention to overcome the defects of the BGK model. The objectives of this study are to verify and validate the MRT-LBM with and without free surface flows. We have performed (i) a comparison of the MRT-LBM and BGK-LBM to clarify the accuracy in two-dimensional cavity flows, (ii) a numerical simulation with the MRT-LBM's free surface model in standing waves benchmark problem. We found that the MRT-LBM has superior accuracy over the BGK-LBM in the cavity flows even in solid wall boundaries. Moreover, the MRT-LBM can controlled the compressibility drop in the 2nd order value of the Mach number in free surface flow.
