Lattice Boltzmann method for simulations of liquid-vapor thermal flows.
We present a lattice Boltzmann method that has the capability of simulating thermodynamic multiphase flows. This approach is fully thermodynamically consistent at the macroscopic level. Using this method, the liquid-vapor boiling process, including liquid-vapor formation and coalescence together with a full coupling of temperature, is simulated.
