Lattice Boltzmann Method Contribution to the Second High-Lift Prediction Workshop

This paper presents the results of the computational-fluid-dynamics code XFlow for the test case proposed in the 2nd High-Lift Prediction Workshop. The target of this international workshop is to assess the accuracy of numerical predictions provided by a wide selection of computational-fluid-dynamics codes and applied to the aeronautical industry. It deals with a full aircraft in high-lift configuration with unstowed flap and slat, including slat tracks, flap track fairings, and slat pressure tube bundles. XFlow is a particle-based kinetic solver, based on the lattice Boltzmann method. It is well suited for such low-speed flows because the standard lattice Boltzmann method is limited to low Mach number. It employs large-eddy simulation turbulence modeling with the wall-adapting local eddy model, coupled with a generalized law of the wall to model the boundary-layer prediction. Traditional computational-fluid-dynamics software requires a time-consuming meshing process that is prone to errors, which signifi...
