Effective volumetric lattice Boltzmann scheme.
An efficient fractional volumetric scheme is proposed for lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). By reducing the effective time step, the scheme possesses much better stability particularly for thermal LBM. The same accuracy and simplicity of the standard LBM are preserved for achieving the Navier-Stokes equation. Since the effective viscosity is reduced by the fraction factor p, the scheme becomes very effective for simulating high Reynolds number thermal flows.
