Abstract

The present study employs the adaptive lattice Boltzmann solver AMROC-LBM to numerically investigate turbulent flow through a wind tunnel containing porous media with a blockage ratio of 0.5. The porous structure comprises two interlaced cubic arrays, designed to emulate a configuration under concurrent experimental investigation. To resolve turbulence characteristics, a large eddy simulation (LES) framework is integrated into the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), enabling accurate capture of large-scale flow structures while modelling subgrid-scale effects. Our in-house solver has been rigorously validated against established experimental and numerical benchmarks, with the results demonstrating close agreement, thereby confirming the reliability of the computational methodology. A scalability analysis confirms the solver’s computational efficiency on parallel architectures.
