Abstract

In this study a new type of non-reflective boundary condition (NRBC) for the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is proposed; the Non-equilibrium Symmetry Boundary Condition (NSBC). The idea behind this boundary condition is to utilize the characteristics of the non-equilibrium distribution function to assign values to the incoming populations. A simple gradient based extrapolation technique and a far-field criterion are used to predict the macroscopic fluid variables. To demonstrate the non-reflective behaviour of the NSBC, two different tests have been carried out, examining the capability of the boundary to absorb acoustic waves respectively vortices. The results for both tests show that the amount of reflection generated by the NSBC is nearly zero.
