LBM equation in the relaxation approximation

Equation

>Top, >Model


In the relaxation approximation, it is assumed that the distribution f_i(\vec{x},t) tends to relax at a time \tau to an equilibrium distribution f_i^{eq}(\vec{x},t) according to equation\\n\\n

$\displaystyle\frac{df_i}{dt}=-\displaystyle\frac{f_i-f_i^{eq}}{\tau}$



which has in the discrete approximation the equation

$f_i(\vec{x}+c\vec{e_i}\delta t,t+\delta t)=f_i(\vec{x},t)+\displaystyle\frac{1}{\tau}(f_i^{eq}(\vec{x},t)-f_i(\vec{x},t))\delta t$

where the term of the differences in the distribution functions represents the collisions.

Distribution in Balance (Gas of Particles)

Equation

>Top, >Model


The equilibrium distribution can be approximated by a distribution of Maxwell Boltzmann

$f_i^{eq}=\displaystyle\frac{m}{2\pi kT}e^{-m|c\vec{e}_i-\vec{u}|^2/2kT}$

Where m is the mass of the particle, T the system temperature and k the Boltzmann constant.
