China) Abstract In the present work, a simple large eddy simulation (LES)-based lattice Boltz- mann model (LBM) is developed for thermal turbulence research. This model is validated by some benchmark tests. The numerical results demonstrate the good performance of the present model for turbulent buoyant flow simulation.

Different from the traditional numerical techniques, the LBM is based on
