Abstract
A thermal lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) model within the framework of double distribution function (DDF) method is proposed from the continuous DDF Boltzmann equation, which has a clear physical significance. Since the discrete velocity set in present LBE model is not space filled, a Lax–Wendroff scheme is applied to solve the evolution equations by which the spatial interpolation of two distribution functions is overcome. To validate the model, some classical numerical tests include thermal Couette flow and natural convection flow are simulated, and the results agree well with the analytic solutions and other numerical results, which showed that the present model had the ability to describe the thermal fluid flow phenomena.
