Abstract
Recently, Lattice Boltzmann Modelling (LBM) techniques attract many scientists in various fields of research. This study shows the capability for LBM to simulate the fluid flow and heat transport in porous and fractured media, which is an important process in natural aquatic environments, water treatment, and other water-related technologies. LBSim was used in this work as Lattice Boltzmann Model simulator software. In this study, a series of synthetic cases were presented to show the capability of the method in simulating the fluid flow and heat transfer in porous/fractured media. Results show that LBSim delivers reliable and helpful simulation. Thus, LBSim is a recommended tool for simulating fluid flow whether it is laminar or turbulent, and for heat and mass transport under complex geometry and boundary conditions and parameter values.
