Implicit discretization and nonuniform mesh refinement approaches for FD discretizations of LBGK models
After a short discussion of recent discretization techniques for the lattice-Boltzmann equations we motivate and discuss some alternative approaches using implicit, nonuniform FD discretization and mesh refinement techniques. After presenting results of a stability analysis we use an implicit approach to simulate a boundary laser test problem. The numerical results compare well to the reference solution when using strongly refined meshes. Some basic ideas for a nonuniform mesh refinement (with non-cartesian mesh topology) are introduced using the standard discretization procedure of alternating collision and propagation.
