Investigation of Flow Patterns in Various Geometries with Different BafflesUsing Lattice Boltzmann Method

This study explores the effects of different geometries and baffles on flow patterns in single-phaseflows using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) with a free energy model incorporating a pressuretensor approach. The analysis was conducted on five distinct geometries with four different Reynolds(Re) numbers under periodic boundary conditions in a straight channel. The objective was tounderstand how these geometries and the presence of baffles influence the flow behavior, particularlyfocusing on vortex formation, flow separation, and reattachment points. The findings providevaluable insights for optimizing flow patterns and enhancing the design and performance ofengineering applications involving fluid dynamics
