In the present study, a new method for simulation of the conjugate heat transfer conditions at the curved interface of two media with different thermal properties is proposed based on the ghost fluid lattice Boltzmann method (GF-LBM). The proposed method significantly benefits from the inherent feature of the GF-LBM in availability of the temperature gradient normal to the interface. To test the accuracy of the presented method, three different case studies are simulated. The results revealed the second-order accuracy of the proposed conjugate heat transfer formulation. Furthermore, when compared to the available analytical solutions, the results of this study showed better agreement compared to the results of the other available methods.
