Abstract:
      The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is a new discrete numerical method to solve the fluid mechanics.As it develops,the method has been widely used in the numerical simulation and optimization of flows.Therefore,it is a straightforward requirement to evaluate the value of viscous dissipation of flow accurately with LBM.This paper presents a detailed procedure to calculate fluid viscous dissipation using the LBM.Other than the traditional finite difference method,the fluid viscous energy dissipation in this paper is solved by a lattice-Boltzmann-moment based approach.The moment based approach not only avoids the inapplicability that the finite difference method may have near the boundaries,but also works with a local algorithm which can be directly implemented on the high performance computers with the large-scale parallel computing techniques.Based on the precision analysis of this new numerical scheme,the optimization of an ellipsoid block in a straight channel flow is provided.The analysis and the example prove that the presented method is practically feasible and quantitatively valid.
