Abstract
In this paper, we propose an innovative formulation of the “well-known” thermal lattice Boltzmann method for solving transient conduction heat transfer problems in heterogeneous media: the DD-CHT LB method for Double Distribution – Conjugate Heat Transfer. The main idea of this new formulation is to bring out a second distribution function that represent the effect of thermal inertia and its variation in a heterogeneous media. By adopting this original formulation we achieved several goals, mainly conservation of local properties of the studied media and ensuring the stability of the proposed formulation by avoiding any alteration of the “well-known” TLBM collision step. Validation of the formulation is fulfilled through three different benchmark conduction heat transfer problems in heterogeneous media. All results are compared with those obtained by the Control Volume Method (CVM) and excellent agreements were found.
