Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of Lauric Acid Melting in Rectangular Cavity With Different Fin Configurations With OpenLB

open access: yesEnergy Storage, Volume 7, Issue 5, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Latent heat energy storage systems (LHESS) using phase change materials (PCMs) offer high thermal energy storage density and effective temperature regulation due to their ability to absorb and release heat at nearly constant temperatures. However, accurately simulating the melting process of PCMs remains challenging due to the nonlinear nature

OpenLB User Guide: Associated with Release 1.6 of the Code

open access: yesCoRR, 2023
OpenLB is an object-oriented implementation of LBM. It is the first implementation of a generic platform for LBM programming, which is shared with the open source community (GPLv2). Since the first release in 2007, the code has been continuously improved and extended which is documented by thirteen releases as well as the corresponding release notes ...

Implicit propagation of directly addressed grids in lattice Boltzmann methods

open access: yesConcurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 35, Issue 8, 10 April 2023., 2023
Summary Lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM) are well suited to highly parallel computational fluid dynamics simulations due to their separability into a perfectly parallel collision step and a propagation step that only communicates within a local neighborhood.

Numerical Investigation of Compressive Stress and Wettability Effects on Fluid Transport in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Porous Layers

open access: yesEnergy Technology, Volume 10, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
A numerical framework is presented highlighting effects of compressive stress on fluid transport across multiple porous layers in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. Liquid transport characteristics under various compressive conditions are mainly influenced by pore‐scale capillary pressure.

Applied Geometry Optimization of an Innovative 3D‐Printed Wet‐Scrubber Nozzle with a Lattice Boltzmann Method 

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, Volume 94, Issue 3, Page 348-355, March 2022., 2022
A single‐phase CFD model with a lattice Boltzmann method of an innovative 3D‐printed wet‐scrubber nozzle is implemented to analyze and optimize its pressure drop. The numerical model is validated against experimental data. An optimization approach regarding the flow guidance and pressure drop of the nozzle as well as the impact on the product ...

2D simulation and analysis of fluid flow between two sinusoidal parallel plates using lattice Bolzmann method [PDF]

open access: yesChemical Industry and Chemical Engineering Quarterly, 2013
In order to obtain a better heat transfer, it is important to enhance fluid mixing in heat exchangers. Since there are negative effects when heat exchangers are operating in turbulent regime (like significant pressure drop, increased size of the pump)

Heat Transfer in Unfrozen and Frozen Porous Media: Experimental Measurement and Pore‐Scale Modeling

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 56, Issue 9, September 2020., 2020
Abstract In this work, we conducted a mechanistic study on pore‐scale mechanisms controlling heat transfer in partially saturated porous media at unfrozen and frozen conditions. Experimental measurement of effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of simulated partially saturated sediments was carried out to explore the effect of different parameters ...

Research Software Engineering in OpenLB: Refactoring a Legacy Code to State-Of-The-Art Performance

open access: yes, 2023
Lattice Boltzmann Methods (LBM) are an established approach for simulating a wide variety of transport phenomena. The software framework OpenLB has been in continuous development for 15 years and counting as one of the major open source LBM research codes. Due to the need to develop the library alongside the primary research of the involved scientists,

THE OPENLB PROJECT: AN OPEN SOURCE AND OBJECT ORIENTED IMPLEMENTATION OF LATTICE BOLTZMANN METHODS

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics C, 2007
The OpenLB project aims at setting up an open source implementation of lattice Boltzmann methods in an object oriented framework. The code, which is written in C ++, is intended to be used both by application programmers and by developers who may add their own particular dynamics.
