In this paper, the thermal lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), a numerical tool based on particle distribution function is used to simulate steady state thermal fluid flow problems and compared with the established CFD tools; FLUENT. At low Rayleigh number simulation, D2Q9 lattice model was coupled wit...
