A kinetic Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) model using a reduced domain is nested within an inviscid flow field to provide increased simulation fidelity where desired, while leveraging the computational efficiency of inviscid solutions. We formulate a fully (or strongly) coupled approach, in which a Helmholtz decomposition is applied to the flow, separating the inviscid and viscous perturbation parts. The latter component is driven by the inviscid field through nonlinear inviscid-perturbation interaction terms that, in conventional Navier-Stokes solvers, would be expressed as volume forces. In the present work an equivalent LBM approach is presented where, as opposed to a body-force coupling, a strong coupling within the LBM collision operators is presented. The resulting hybrid LBM is applied to validation cases for a wave driven boundary layer and the flow past a cylinder.en0045-79302020GPGPU implementationHybrid methodLattice-Boltzmann modelMarine hydrodynamicsPotential flowJournal Article10.1016/j.compfluid.2020.104723Journal Article
