Overview

Here is a basic introduction to Lattice Boltzmann models that emphasizes intuition and simplistic conceptualization of processes, while avoiding the complex mathematics that underlies LB models. The model is viewed from a particle perspective where collisions, streaming, and particle-particle/particle-surface interactions constitute the entire conceptual framework. Beginners and those whose interest is in model application over detailed mathematics will find this a powerful 'quick start' guide. Example simulations, exercises, and computer codes are included.

a pleasant and self-contained introduction to lattice Boltzmann methods <p> written for the user in engineering and geoscience, and mathematical theory is kept to a necessary minimum. <p> Rather than engage in lengthy introductions, derivations, validations, and existence and uniqueness theory, the authors take a completely practical point of view and simply make sure that the model is consistent with fundamental physical principles <p> Sukop and Thorne keep matters simple, but they succeed in demonstrating the amazing versatility and wide applicability of LBMs. <p> this little book gives easy access to a simple yet powerful toolbox for complex flow phenomena. <p>REINHARD ILLNER, University of Victoria, In the SIAM REVIEW<br>c_ 2007 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics <br>Vol. 49, No . 1, pp . 123a 176 <p>
