Abstract

We discuss the basic theory of the Lattice Boltzmann Equation (LBE) and present some applications to two and three-dimensional hydrodynamics. In particular, we report on the study of the flow in a plane channel containing a periodic array of identical plates promoting flow instabilities at Reynolds numbers well below the critical value for the classical Poiseuille flow. With concern to three-dimensional applications, we present some preliminary studies aimed to assess the parameter range in which the LBE can be used to investigate low-Reynolds flows in porous media. The ultimate goal of this project is to compute the permeability of a three-dimensional medium taking into account its microgeometrical configuration. Performance data pertaining to the implementation on a six-way IBM 3090 vector multiprocessor are also offered.
