TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the lattice Boltzmann (LB) method for thermofluids and energy applications, focusing on multiphase flows, thermal flows and thermal multi-phase flows with phase change, is provided in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review of the theory and applications of a multiphase model in the community of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), the pseudopotential model proposed by Shan and Chen (1993), is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal reliability and stability of fatty acids as phase change materials and their heat transfer characteristics in a unit are analyzed. And the energy storage systems of three kinds of fatty acid as PCMs are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, a coupled simulation method based on Monte Carlo Ray Trace (MCRT) and Finite Volume Method (FVM) is established to solve the complex coupled heat transfer problem of radiation, heat conduction and convection in parabolic trough solar collector system.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative review of phase change material (PCM) based LHS performance enhancement methods is presented, which can be classified into three categories: using high thermal conductivity additives and porous media to enhance PCM thermal conductivities, using finned tubes and encapsulated PCMs to extend heat transfer surface, using multistage or cascaded LHS technique and thermodynamic optimization to improve the heat transfer uniformity.
