Abstract	Fluid flow and heat transfer of water cooling for concentrated photovoltaic-thermal (CPV-T) receivers has been simulated by Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). The main purpose is to improve the efficiency of the heat dissipation for the CPV-T receiver, hence to relieve the CPV from high thermal stresses. The four different geometry designs are simulated to reveal the effects of geometries on cooling flow velocities and the temperature distributions. The velocity fields, temperature distributions, and the averaged Nusselt numbers have been obtained. The mean temperature and velocity inside the receivers have also been compared for the four difference designs. The results show that the designs which obtain higher mean velocity will also have higher mean Nusselt numbers. And the highest mean velocity case will have better performance and is the optimal one of the four kinds of designs.
