Abstract
In the divertor plasma detachment regime one expects to encounter turb ulent collisional neutral gas dynamics. These conditions are ideally s imulated by lattice Boltzmann methods - methods ideal for application on multi-parallel processors. As illustrative of this method, we speci fically show the effect of conductivity in the Rayleigh-Benard convect ion cells, using an octagonal velocity lattice.
