Description
The parametric behavior of regular periodic arrays of rising bubbles is investigated with the aid of 2-dimensional BGK Lattice-Boltzmann (LB) simulators. The Recursive Projection Method is implemented and coupled to the LB simulators, accelerating their convergence towards what we term coarse steady states. Efficient stability/bifurcation analysis is performed by computing the leading eigenvalues/eigenvectors of the coarse time stepper. Our approach constitutes the basis for system-level analysis of processes modeled through microscopic simulations.
