Drag coefficients with LBM

Lattice Boltzmann Method LBM: Theory
#1

Hello colleagues,

I’m looking for some papers about the calculation of drag coefficients using LBM. Which papers would be a good starting point in this subject?

Regards,

Dear Fabiano,

I have implemented a flow around an impulsively started cylinder as shown in this paper:

An immersed boundary–lattice-Boltzmann method for the simulation of the flow past an impulsively started cylinder
Alexandre Dupuis, Philippe Chatelain, Petros Koumoutsakos
Journal of Computational Physics 227 (2008) 4486–4498

The boundary is not as straightforward to implement as bounce-backs, however it makes the computation of the drag and lift really easy.

Dear Serban,

thanks a lot for your repply.
