Lattice-Gas Cellular Automata - Simple Models of Complex Hydrodynamics

Zusammenfassung A self-contained! comprehensive introduction to momentum-conserving lattice gases! showing how they give rise to isotropic macroscopic hydrodynamics! and how they lead to simple models of fluid phase separation! hydrodynamic interfaces! multiphase flow! and flow through porous media. Many exercises are included. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; Acknowledgements; 1. A simple model of fluid mechanics; 2. Two routes to hydrodynamics; 3.
