Abstract
We present an overview of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), a parall el and efficient algorithm for simulating single-phase and multiphase fluid hows and for incorporating additional physical complexities. The LBM is especially useful for modeling complicated boundary conditions and multiphase interfaces. Recent extensions of this method are descr ibed, including simulations of fluid turbulence, suspension flows, and reaction diffusion systems.
