High velocity flow simulation using lattice Boltzmann method with no-free-parameter dissipation scheme

A finite difference lattice Boltzmann method of second-order accuracy in time is developed based on non-oscillatory scheme with no-free-parameter dissipation (NND) difference scheme in this paper. The NND lattice Boltzmann method is used to simulate high-speed flows by constructing a new equilibrium distribution function of the lattice Boltzmann method.Compared with a variation of lattice Boltzmann method developed by Qu, et al., the present method can capture shock waves and handle oscillations of high velocity flows accurately in larger time steps and in shorter computing time. Numerical results indicate the correctness and capability of simulating shock wave interactions of the NND lattice Boltzmann method.
