Abstract
We present an improved lattice Boltzmann (LB) model for thermal liquid-vapor system. In the new model, the Windowed Fast Fourier Transform (WFFT) and its inverse are used to calculate both the convection term and the external force term of the LB equation. By adopting the WFFT scheme, Gibbs oscillations can be damped effectively in unsmooth regions while high resolution feature of the spectral method can be retained in smooth regions. As a result, spatial discretization errors are dramatically decreased, conservation of the total energy is much better preserved, and the spurious velocities near the liquid-vapor interface are significantly reduced. The high resolution, together with the low complexity of the WFFT approach, endows the proposed method with considerable potential for studying a wide class of problems in the field of multiphase flows.
