High-Precision Free-Surface Tracking & Multi-Physics Coupling

TesboLBM

Multi-Relaxation Time Lattice Boltzmann Solver

TesboLBM is a high-performance Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) fluid dynamics solver developed by the TesboCFD team. Specifically tailored for complex materials processing, transient multi-phase flows, and high-precision industrial casting, TesboLBM computes fluid motion starting from microscopic statistical dynamics. It provides exceptional numerical stability and physical fidelity for industrial filling and complex geometries, bypassing the constraints of traditional continuum FVM.

Core Technical Features

Standard 3D D3Q19 lattice model, achieving the perfect balance of computational speed and numerical precision

Advanced Multi-Relaxation Time (MRT) collision operator, maintaining superb numerical stability under extremely high Reynolds numbers and violent turbulence

Integrated Large Eddy Simulation (LES) Smagorinsky subgrid model to accurately resolve fine turbulent flow structures

High-fidelity transient Free Surface Tracking to deeply capture liquid splashing, back-folding, and air pocket entrainment during mold filling

Fully temperature-coupled multi-physics solver with temperature-dependent physical properties (density, heat capacity, thermal conductivity) and latent heat release

Sophisticated Interface Heat Transfer Coefficient (IHTC) boundary conditions, modeling transient heat exchange between the casting and sand molds, metal molds, chills, risers, and sand cores

Scientific Specifications & Governing Equations

MRT Boltzmann Evolution Equation with Body Force

fi(x+eiΔt, t+Δt)fi(x, t)=M−1S[Mfi(x, t)mieq(x, t)]+FiΔt

Collision relaxation occurs in the moment space, decoupling shear and bulk viscosities. Combined with body forces (such as gravity), this dramatically outperforms traditional single-relaxation time (BGK) models.

LES Subgrid Scale Turbulence Model

τeff=τ0+τt;νt=Cs2Δ2|S|

Dynamically calculates subgrid eddy viscosity based on the second invariant of the local strain rate tensor, delivering extreme adaptability for turbulent shear flows.

Industrial Application Scenarios

x_front = 142mm

Gravity Sand Casting

Simulates complex gating systems, runners, and deep cavities. Predicts liquid front merging, gravity-driven filling profiles, and transient thermal gradients.

Air Pocket

High- & Low-Pressure Die Casting

Captures fast metal flows near mold walls, chills, and cores. Accurately predicts high-speed air entrainment, dead zones, turbulent slag inclusions, and riser compensation.

Shrinkage Core (L_s > 92%)

Thermal Control & Solidification

Couples temperature-dependent physics with latent heat release to model solid fraction evolution. Predicts the influence of cooling channels on solidification rates, eliminating shrinkage defects.
