Abstract

This study introduces a block triple-relaxation-time (B-TriRT) lattice Boltzmann model designed specifically for simulating melting phenomena within a rectangular cavity subject to intense heating from below, characterized by high Rayleigh ( R a ) numbers ( R a = 10 8 ). Through benchmark testing, it is demonstrated that the proposed B-TriRT approach markedly mitigates numerical diffusion along the phase interface. Furthermore, an examination of the heated region’s placement is conducted, revealing its significant impact on the rate of melting. Notably, findings suggest that optimal melting occurs most rapidly when the heated region is positioned centrally within the cavity.
