Abstract:
The flow of fluids in complex geometries like porous
media plays an important role in a wide variety of
technological and environmental processes including
chromotography, oil recovery, the degradation of
building materials and the spread of hazardous wastes in
soils. The complexity of such flow processes makes
their theoretical and experimental study a great
challenge. Recent developments in cellular automata
methods such as lattice gas and lattice Boltzmann allow
for the accurate solution of the Navier-Stokes equation
for multi-phase and multi-component fluid flow.
