A Truly Second-Order and Unconditionally Stable Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Method

An unconditionally stable thermal lattice Boltzmann method (USTLBM) is proposed in this paper for simulating incompressible thermal flows. In USTLBM, solutions to the macroscopic governing equations that are recovered from lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) through Chapman–Enskog (C-E) expansion analy...
