Simulation of Drag Reduction via Microgrooves Using Lattice Boltzmann Method, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Moosavi, Ali (Supervisor) ; Arghavani, Jamal (Supervisor)
Abstract
Nowadays, the lattice Boltzmann method has been widely used by scientists and engineers as an alternative to conventional numerical solvers for the Naiver-Stokes equations. The drag force decrease on the surfaces in industrial applications special in transport industries has always been of special importance. In the current research, the effects of the drag decrease has been investigated by making some rectangular grooves on the millimeter and micrometer scale on a flat surface that has been under external laminar flow of a single-phase fluid with the uniform type. Making grooves on the surfaces usually lead to change the contact area from the solid-fluid to fluid-fluid in the grooves area....
