Description
The first detailed survey of the Lattice Boltzmann Equation theory and its major applications to date. This book is accessible to a range of scientists dealing with complex system dynamics, the book also portrays future developments in allied areas of science (material science, biology etc.) where fluid motion plays a distinguished role.
