Summary: | A high-order implicit radial basis function-based differential quadrature-finite volume (IRBFDQ-FV) method is presented in this work to efficiently simulate incompressible flows with heat transfer on unstructured mesh. The velocity and temperature fields are solved by locally using the lattice Boltzmann flux solver and the high-order finite volume method. Specifically, the proposed highly accurate finite volume method utilizes a high-order Taylor polynomial to approximate the solution within every control cell. Spatial derivatives are the corresponding coefficients in the polynomial, and they are approximated by the meshless radial basis function-based differential quadrature (RBFDQ) method. The diffusive and convective fluxes at each cell interface are simultaneously evaluated through local reconstruction of lattice Boltzmann solution using D2Q9 lattice velocity model. To efficiently calculate the solution with high-order accuracy, an implicit time-marching method incorporating the lower-upper symmetric Gauss-Seidel (LU-SGS) and the explicit first stage, singly-diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta (ESDIRK) approaches is devised. The proposed method is comprehensively validated by a series of numerical experiments containing both steady-state and time-dependent heat transfer problems with/without curved boundaries at a wide variety of Rayleigh numbers and Grashof numbers. The obtained results demonstrate a high degree of accuracy and reliability of the proposed method for complex flows on unstructured mesh. In comparison with the classical second-order method, the proposed high-order method has better computational efficiency when comparable results are achieved. |
