Simulation of capillary infiltration into packing structures for the optimization of ceramic materials using the lattice Boltzmann method

This study uses the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to simulate in 2D the capillary infiltration into porous structures obtained from the packing of particles. The experimental problem motivating the work is the densification of carbon preforms by reactive melt infiltration. The aim is to determine t...
