 note = {Due to the public awareness with regard to harmful diesel emissions, more strict diesel emissions standards such as Euro V in 2008 are being set in the world. As one of the key technologies, a diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been developed to reduce particulate matters (PM) in the after-treatment of exhaust gas. Since the structure of the filter is small and complex, it is impossible to examine the phenomena inside the filter experimentally. In this study, we conducted fluid simulation in DPF. We used the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). The microstructure of DPF was taken into account. The complex flow pattern appears by using the non-slip boundary condition on the filter wall surface. The soot accumulation was simulated to consider the PM trap in the diesel filter. Results show that the flow is largely changed due to soot deposition. As the soot concentration inside the filter is increased, the filter backpressure is increased.},
