High speed flows with Particles on Demand: Boundary Conditions
The particles on demand (PonD) method is a new kinetic theory model that
allows for simulation of high speed compressible flows. While standard
Lattice-Boltzmann is limited by a fixed reference frame, significantly reducing
the range of applicable of Mach numbers, PonD takes advantage of adaptive
reference frames to get rid of the restrictions of standard LB and is able to
simulate flows at high speeds and with large temperature gradients. Previously,
PonD has been shown to be a viable alternative for simulation of flows with
strong discontinuities and for detonation modelling. However, treatment of
flows with complex boundaries has been lacking. Here, we present PonD augmented
with a non-equilibrium extrapolation based boundary condition. We present
several compressible test cases such as shock-vortex interaction in the
Schardin's Problem and supersonic flow over a two-dimensional cylinder at Mach
numbers up to 5. We observe that the results agree well with literature, paving
the way for a kinetic theory based approach for simulating compressible flows
in realistic scenarios

Lattice Boltzmann method for fluid-structure interaction in compressible flow
We present a two-way coupled fluid-structure interaction scheme for rigid bodies using a two-population lattice Boltzmann formulation for compressible flows. An arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation of the discrete Boltzmann equation on body-fitted meshes is used in combination with polynomial blending functions. The blending function approach localizes mesh deformation and allows treating multiple moving bodies with a minimal computational overhead. We validate the model with several test cases of vortex induced vibrations of single and tandem cylinders and show that it can accurately describe dynamic behavior of these systems. Finally, in the compressible regime, we demonstrate that the proposed model accurately captures complex phenomena such as transonic flutter over an airfoil.ISSN:1070-6631ISSN:1089-7666ISSN:0031-917
