Abstract

An extended lattice Boltzmann (LB) equation, the lattice Boltzmann equation with a source term, is developed for the system of equations governing the hyperbolic heat conduction equation. Mathematical consistence between the proposed extended LB equation and the governing equations are accomplished by the Chapman-Enskog expansion. Four illustrative examples, with both finite and semi-infinite computational domains and subjected to linear and nonlinear boundary conditions, are simulated. All numerical predications agree very well with the existing solutions in the literature. It is also demonstrated that the present scheme is stable and free of numerical oscillations especially around the wave front, where sharp change in temperature occurs.
