Lattice Gas Automaton
Lattice gas automata (LGA) or lattice gas cellular automata (LGCA) methods are a series of cellular automata methods used to simulate fluid flows. It was the precursor to the lattice Boltzmann methods. From the LGCA, it is possible to derive the macroscopic Navier-Stokes equations. Interest in the LGCA methods levelled off in the early 1990s, as the interest in the lattice Boltzmann started to rise.

Famous quotes containing the word gas:
“Shielded, what sorts of life are stirring yet:
Legs lagged like drains, slippers soft as fungus,
The gas and grate, the old cold sour grey bed.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
