Abstract

A hybrid lattice Boltzmann and finite-volume model is proposed to solve the natural-convection-controlled melting problem. The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is applied to solve the velocity field, while the temperature field is obtained by the finite-volume method (FVM). The D2Q9 model and finite-difference velocity gradient boundary condition are used in the LBM and the SIMPLE algorithm with QUICK scheme is employed in the FVM. An interfacial tracking model based on energy balance at the interface is applied to obtain the location of the solid–liquid interface. The results from the present hybrid method are validated with experimental results, and good agreement is obtained.
