Abstract
Abstract The simulation of viscoelastic liquids using the Lattice–Boltzmann method (LBM) in full three dimensions remains a formidable numerical challenge. In particular the simulation of strongly shear-thinning fluids, where the ratio between the high-shear and low-shear viscosities is large, is often prevented by stability problems. Here we present a novel approach to overcome this issue. The central idea is to artificially increase the solvent viscosity which allows the method to benefit from the very good stability properties of the LBM. To compensate for this additional viscous stress, the polymer stress is reduced by the same amount. We apply this novel method to simulate two realistic cell carrier fluids, methyl cellulose and alginate solutions, of which the latter exhibits a viscosity ratio exceeding 10,000.
