Prediction of volumetric radiation effect on natural convection with high Rayleigh number using lattice Boltzmann-control volume finite element method by Mohieddine Ben Salah, Ayoub Msaddak, Talal Alqahtani, Salem Algarni, Faouzi Askri, Badr M. Alshammari, Lioua Kolsi

“…For example, for a Rayleigh number equal to 103, the LB–CVFEM is forty-eight times rapid than the LB–FVM method, and for a Rayleigh number set to 106, the proposed numerical approach takes 8 days, whereas the LB-FVM needs 16 days, iii) for 106 Rayleigh number case which investigated by few published works, there is a development of small recirculation zones in the vicinity of the top and bottom left corners of the cavity, and iv) the radiation effect increases with the extinction coefficient; however, it decreases with the increase of scattering albedo.…”
