Abstract

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been widely considered as a distinctive and reliable approach for simulating the complex particulate flows. As an intrinsic kinetic scheme, it is quite convenient for LBM to apply the bounce-back (BB) type methods to handle the moving boundaries with complicated geometry, which is a tricky task for general interface-resolved methods. However, the two major schemes in LBM, i.e., the simple BB rule and the curved boundary condition (CBC) are presently encountered by the problems of low precision and loss of local computation, respectively. To overcome those two deficiencies in the boundary treatment simultaneously, a one-point second-order CBC is proposed in this paper. Information of only a single node is required in the present scheme, and the second-order accuracy is validated in the channel flow and cylindrical Couette flow. Applications to the particulate flows are further implemented to verify the present scheme. Numerical results are in good agreement with those in the literature.
