LBM for combustion

Hi all,

Does anyone know about LBM being applied to reacting flows and if so with any success? Are there any good references for this?

Kind regards,

Elrohir

Hi Elrohir,

I’ve never dealt with combustion problems but while I was looking for some theory about reactive LBM I found this:

This could be an help for you.

Hi

It depends on the combustion you are dealing with, gas phase or surface?
dariobonja, that paper is based on reduction kinetic, and the gas expansion seen in gas phase combustion is not even mentioned.
Esentially, the standard LBM is isothermal. Its limitations when dealing the gas phase expansion is discussed here:

However, if you are looking for surface reaction, a model is found
