- It's good to see some interest in CA's for use in fluid simulations.
- I almost thought everyone had forgotten about it. Here are some references
- to what I consider to be some of the clearest and implementation oriented
- papers.

- LGA == Lattice Gas Automata (bit twiddlying methods, noisy)
- LBA == Lattice Boltzmann Automata (floating point methods, more sophisticated)

- "Cellular-automaton fluids: A model for flow in porous media"
- Daniel H. Rothman
- Geophysics, Vol. 53 (1988) p. 509
-
- Comments: This is an excellent introduction to 2D LGA and some simple
- applications.
-
-
- "Lattice Gas Models for 3D Hydrodynamcs"
- D. D'Humieres, P. Lallemand and U. Frisch
- Europhysics Letters, Vol. 2 No. 4, pp. 291-7 (1986)
-
- Comments: Good paper on 3D LGA. They present 19 bit and 24 bit models.

-
- "The Lattice Boltzmann Equation: A New Tool for Computational Fluid-Dynamics"
- Sauro Succi, Roberto Benzi and Francisco Higuera
- Physica D, Volume 47, (1991) pp. 219-230
-
- Comments: This is a fairly general presentation of the linearized
- collision operator for the LBA method. Quite a few
- applications are presented.
-
-
- "Lattice Boltzmann model of immiscible fluids"
- Andrew K. Gunstensen and Daniel H. Rothman, Ste(')phane Zaleski,
- Gianluigi Zanetti
-
- Comments: Very well written. Explains the linearized collision operator
- for LBA very succinctly. Includes rest particles to guarantee
- galillean invariance.

-
- "Lattice Boltzmann Computational Fluid Dynamics in Three Dimensions"
- Shiyi Chen, Zheng Wang, Xiaowen Shan, and Gary D. Doolen
- Journal of Statistical Physics, Vol. 68 Nos. 3/4, Aug. 1992
-
- Comments: Pretty good paper describing 3-D LBA. The LBA model is
- simpler than the linearized collision operator used in
- the early papers. The model has only 14 directions in 3-D,
- which is much better than the 24 normally needed.
