Lattice Gas Hydrodynamics

by J.-P. Rivet, J.P. Boon, Jean-Pierre Rivet, et al.

Book Overview

Lattice gas hydrodynamics describes the approach to fluid dynamics using a micro-world constructed as an automaton universe, where the microscopic dynamics is based not on a description of interacting particles, but on the laws of symmetry and invariance of macroscopic physics. We imagine point-like particles residing on a regular lattice, where they move from node to node and undergo collisions when their trajectories meet. If the collisions occur...
