Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has grown rapidly while it has been applied to fundamental and applied applications. This Special Issue emphasizes three topics in CFD including, but not limited to: algorithm development in CFD; CFD for biological applications; and CFD for bio-inspired design. Submitted papers should cover CFD algorithms, methods and applications relevant to the current research and applied CFD challenges. CFD models at different scales, including the microscale, mesoscale and macroscale, are welcome in this Special Issue. Both high-fidelity and reduced-order CFD research will also be acceptable.

Dr. Zheng Li

An innovative coupling numerical algorithm is proposed in the current paper, the front-tracking method–lattice Boltzmann method–machine learning (FTM-LBM-ML) method, to precisely capture fluid flow phase interfaces at the mesoscale and accurately simulate dynamic processes. This method combines the distinctive abilities of the FTM to accurately capture phase interfaces and the advantages of the LBM for easy handling of mesoscopic multi-component flow fields. Taking a single vacuole rising as an example, the input and output sets of the machine learning model are constructed using the FTM’s flow field, such as the velocity and position data from phase interface markers. Such datasets are used to train the Bayesian-Regularized Back Propagation Neural Network (BRBPNN) machine learning model to establish the corresponding relationship between the phase interface velocity and the position. Finally, the trained BRBPNN neural network is utilized within the multi-relaxation LBM pseudo potential model flow field to predict the phase interface position, which is compared with the FTM simulation. It was observed that the BRBPNN-predicted interface within the LBM exhibits a high degree of consistency with the FTM-predicted interface position, showing that the BRBPNN model is feasible and satisfies the accuracy requirements of the FT-LB coupling model.
