Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of Fluid Flow Characteristics in a Rock Micro-Fracture Based on the Pseudo-Potential Model

Slip boundary has an important influence on fluid flow, which is non-negligible in rock micro-fractures. In this paper, an improved pseudo-potential multi-relaxation-time (MRT) lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), which can achieve a large density ratio, is introduced to simulate the fluid flow in a micr...
