Abstract
In this paper, we suggest two kinds of approximation methods based on Taylor series expansion which can solve the non-linear equation in entropic lattice Boltzmann model without using any iteration methods such as Newton–Raphson method. The advantage of our methods is to be able to avoid the load imbalance in parallel computation which occurs due to the differences of iteration number on each calculation grid. In this study, ELBM simulations using our methods were compared with those using Newton–Raphson method for the channel flow past a square cylinder in Re = 1000 and the validity of the results and computational effort were investigated. As a result, it was found that the solutions obtained by our methods are qualitatively and quantitatively reasonable and CPU time is shorter than those obtained by Newton–Raphson method.
