Abstract

This study investigates the fundamental fluid dynamics of steady-state laminar flow past a circular cylinder using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) with a D2Q9 lattice arrangement. Developed using a vectorized Pythonic approach, the numerical solver employs the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) collision operator to resolve the mesoscopic particle distribution functions. The research focuses on the flow characteristics at low Reynolds numbers (Re) ranging from 20 to 70 to ensure stable convergence toward steady-state conditions. Results demonstrate that the LBM effectively captures critical hydrodynamic phenomena, including stagnation points, flow acceleration due to blockage effects, and the development of symmetric wake regions. Analysis reveals a linear correlation between increasing Reynolds numbers and the longitudinal elongation of the recirculation zone, confirming the solver's ability to maintain numerical stability and momentum conservation without the computational expense of conventional pressure-velocity coupling. These findings validate the use of open-source computational tools for rigorous fluid flow analysis and provide a robust dataset for future integration with multi-scale modeling and machine learning frameworks, such as Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs).

Abstract

Insufficient lighting at selected residential access points and limited public familiarity with small-scale renewable energy are common challenges in densely built neighborhoods. This community service program developed a pilot Savonius vertical-axis wind turbine as a supplementary power source for an LED residential street-lighting system at Perumahan Bulan Terang Utama, RT 04/RW 18, Madyopuro, Kedungkandang, Malang, East Java. The independently funded activity did not involve a formal institutional partner. The work included site assessment, energy sizing, rotor and support-structure fabrication, generator and battery integration, installation, commissioning, safety communication, and preparation of a maintenance framework. The prototype used a two-stage Savonius rotor with a 1.44 m² swept area, a permanent-magnet generator, rectifier and buck-boost converter, charge controller, 12 V battery, dusk-to-dawn control, and a 6 W LED lamp. Engineering calculations using a rotor power coefficient of 0.15 and realistic conversion efficiencies indicated electrical outputs of approximately 1.6–12.2 W at wind speeds of 3–6 m/s. Under a representative low-wind daily scenario, the projected energy production was approximately 52 Wh/day, sufficient for about 7.5 hours of LED operation after storage losses. The prototype provides a practical platform for demonstrating energy conversion and maintenance requirements. Long-term wind measurement, structural verification, electrical-safety review, and battery monitoring are required before broader replication.
