Numerical Study of the Effect of Viscous Heat Dissipation and Compression Work on Microscale Rayleigh–Bénard Convection Based on a Coupled Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Method

In the present work, an improved double-distribution-function thermal lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is developed for analyzing the effect of viscous heat dissipation and compression work on microscale Rayleigh–Bénard convection. In the proposed method a temperature change is introduced into the LB...
