Abstract

In the present study we propose a new version of the lattice-Boltzmann (LB) method for the simulation of flow of yield-stress liquids. Unlike traditional LB methods, collisions are treated implicitly, i.e., the collision term is chosen in such a way that the stress and strain rate tensors satisfy the constitutive equation after the collision. This approach requires the solution of a (one-dimensional) non-linear algebraic equation at each point and at each time step. In the practically important cases of a Bingham liquid this equation can be solved analytically. We calculated the flow of Bingham fluid through a channel and periodic mesh of cylinders.
