AB - In this paper, a coupled lattice Boltzmann model is used to visually study  fluid flow induced by thermal effect in heterogeneity porous media  reconstructed by the quartet structure generation set. The fluid flow  behavior inside porous media is presented and analyzed under different  conditions. The simulation results indicate that the pore morphological  properties of porous media and the Rayleigh number have noticeable impact on  the velocity distribution and flow rate of fluid.
