Lattice Boltzmann study of fluid flow and heat transfer in random porous media

In this thesis, the lattice Boltzmann (LB) method for transport phenomena is combined with the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm for digitized porous media reconstruction to study fluid flow and heat transfer in random porous media. It is noted that in contrast to previous studies which simplify po...
