Coupling finite volume-lattice Boltzmann methods for advanced heat transfer simulations

We present a high-performance coupled framework that advances the integration of the finite volume method (FVM) and the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for multi-physics thermal flow simulations, including heat conduction, conjugated heat transfer, natural and forced convection, and phase change. The proposed scheme employs a central-moments-based collision operator for both velocity and temperature fields, substantially improving numerical stability and accuracy over traditional approaches withi
