Shale gas, although unconventional, is a prospective clean energy source. Shale gas
production is a complex multi-scale process with its spatial size ranging from the nanoscale …

With its roots in kinetic theory and the cellular automaton concept, the lattice-Boltzmann (LB)
equation can be used to obtain continuum flow quantities from simple and local update rules …

Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is a relatively new simulation technique for the modeling of
complex fluid systems and has attracted interest from researchers in computational physics …

Based on the Boltzmann-BGK (Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook) equation, in this paper a discrete
unified gas kinetic scheme (DUGKS) is developed for low-speed isothermal flows. The …

This paper is focused on demonstrating that it is possible to reduce the thermal conductivity
of polymeric foams by reducing the average cell size below the micron. For this purpose, a …

Accurate modeling of gas microflow is crucial for the microfluidic devices in MEMS. Gas
microflows through these devices are often in the slip and transition flow regimes …

A lattice Boltzmann color-fluid model, which was recently proposed by Liu et al.(2012) based
on a concept of continuum surface force, is improved to simulate immiscible two-phase flows …

Conventional flow models based on Darcy's flow physics fail to model shale gas production
data accurately. The failure to match field data and laboratory-scale evidence of non-Darcy …

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has experienced tremendous advances and been well
accepted as a popular method for simulating various fluid flow problems in porous media …

In this work, we apply the lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) with multiple relaxation times
(MRTs) to simulate the Poiseuille flow in the slip flow regime. We analyse in detail the …
