Project LBM Pressure Simulation: A Case Study in Key Pressure Conversion Parameters Program Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Research Program Term Fall 2025 Status Closed Research Area Computational Fluid Dynamics Description This project aims to develop reliable and efficient methods for simulating pressure fields using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). By leveraging LBM's capabilities—such as parallel computing and its ability to model complex fluid dynamics—this study will focus on identifying lattice simulation parameters and pressure conversion factors that ensure accuracy and scalability. The findings will advance understanding of pressure conversion techniques in LBM and their broader applications in engineering and computational fluid dynamics.
