1) In low-Mach-number simple flows, i.e., of single component/phase, the LBE is a good approach for Boussinesq flows.
2) LBE may even be very good for solving Stokes flows (Re=0), but not for theoretical
reasons. Rather it is due to numerics. (no publication in this topic, yet.)
3) LBE can be seen as an artificial compressibility method. The remaining question is that can LBE go beyond ACM.
4) For complex fluids (multi-component/phase), LBE has some theoretical advantage because of kinetic theory. For multi-component/phase fluids, continuum theory has trouble to come up with unique constitutive relationships, while they are
not need in kinetic theory.
These are my takes. One thing I should emphasize is that my opinions are much based on mathematics, not just my personal taste. If it's just my personal taste, there is no point to debate. |
