A computational method for simulating blood flow through a heart mechanical valve in aortic position, based on lattice Boltzmann methods is presented in this work. Changes of fluid properties, affected by the valve opening and closing, were considered as well as time related changes of...

A lattice Boltzmann phase-field method for flows of binary-alloys with liquid–solid phase-transitions is introduced. Applications to two-dimensional flows with solidification fronts are presented and commented on.

A new method for the computation of flows at the micrometer scale is presented. It is based on the recently introduced minimal entropic kinetic models. Both the thermal and isothermal families of minimal models are presented, and the simplest isothermal entropic lattice Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook...

We investigate the axis-switching and instability onset characteristics of a rectangular jet with aspect ratio (AR) of 1.5. Jet flow simulations of four different Reynolds numbers, 10,100,150, and 200, are performed. Half-width of streamwise velocity along with velocity vector and streamwise...

We present a numerical study of the dynamics of a non-ideal fluid subject to a density-dependent pseudo-potential characterized by a hierarchy of nested attractive and repulsive interactions. It is shown that above a critical threshold of the interaction strength, the competition between stable...
