Introduction : review of basic fluid mechanics -- Lattice gas models -- Basic Boltzmann gas concepts -- Lattice Bolzmann models (LBMs) -- Single component, single phase (SCSP) LBM -- Single component, multiphase (SCMP) LBM -- Multicomponent multiphase (MCMP) LBM -- Solute transport -- LBM for macroscopic porous media -- Conclusions.
Lattice Boltzmann models have a remarkable ability to simulate single- and multi-phase fluids and transport processes within them. This book provides a basic introduction that emphasizes intuition and simplistic conceptualization of processes. It avoids the more difficult mathematics that underlies LB models.
