Abstract
The purpose of this research is to construct a collision model considering the influence of bulk viscosity and verify the stability in high Reynolds number flow analysis. In order to compare the computational stability and calculation time using SRT (Single-Relaxation Time) w/o bulk viscosity, the calculation of 2-dimensional shear layer flow was carried out for the verification. It is found that SRT with bulk viscosity improves the stability and accuracy even at low grid-resolution.

Reasons for using JSS2
The computational cost of unsteady flow simulation by LBM is very high.
We use JSS2 to reduce the computational cost by paralleization.
Achievements of the Year
By adding the influence of bulk viscosity to SRT, the computation stability and accuracy was improved even in the case of high Reynolds number flow and low grid-resolution.
