摘要
This article deals with the application of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to the analysis of natural convection in the presence of volumetric radiation in a square cavity containing an absorbing, emitting, and scattering medium. Separate particle distribution functions in the LBM are used to calculate the density and velocity fields and the thermal field. The radiative term of the energy equation is computed using the finite-volume method. Streamlines, isotherms, and Nusselt number are analyzed for the effects of different parameters such as Rayleigh number, convection-radiation parameter, extinction coefficient, and scattering albedo.
