Numerical Simulation of Shock Propatation by the Finite Difference Lattice Boltzmann Method

The shock process represents an abrupt change in fluid properties, in which finite variations in pressure, temperature, and density occur over a shock thickness which is comparable to the mean tree path of the gas molecules involved. The fluid phenomenon is simulated by using finite difference lattice Boltzmann method (FDLBM). In this research, the new model is proposed using the lattice BGK compressible fluid model in FDLBM for the purpose of shortening in calculation time and stabilizing in simulation operation. The numerical results agree also with the theoretical predictions.
