A general fourth-order mesoscopic multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model and equivalent macroscopic finite-difference scheme for two-dimensional diffusion equations
share
In this work, we first develop a general mesoscopic multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann (MRT-LB) model for the two-dimensional diffusion equation with the constant diffusion coefficient and source term, where the D2Q5 (five discrete velocities in two-dimensional space) lattice structure is considered. Then we exactly derive the equivalent macroscopic finite-difference scheme of the MRT-LB model. Additionally, we also propose a proper MRT-LB model for the diffusion equation with a linear source term, and obtain an equivalent macroscopic six-level finite-difference scheme. After that, we conduct the accuracy and stability analysis of the finite-difference scheme and the mesoscopic MRT-LB model. It is found that at the diffusive scaling, both of them can achieve a fourth-order accuracy in space based on the Taylor expansion. The stability analysis also shows that they are both unconditionally stable. Finally, some numerical experiments are conducted, and the numerical results are also consistent with our theoretical analysis.
