Lattice Gas Automaton

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:

    one pale woman all alone,
    The daylight kissing her wan hair,
    Loitered beneath the gas lamps’ flare,
    With lips of flame and heart of stone.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
