The Symposium will focus on the presentation of papers dealing with the wide range of L-B applications.
The participants will discuss the possibilities of using the L-B approach in the wider context of modern computational methods.
Lattice-Boltzmann Methods for Physics, Biology and Engineering Design Application. In order to solve numerous problems described in advanced models proposed by such disciplines as Physics, Biology and Engineering, we need to use the advanced methods of calculations. Analytic methods are either unavailable, or difficult to compute by traditional means.
The lattice gas models can perform such tasks efficiently, since they simulate the processes at the same speed, no matter if the geometry, boundary conditions and the system itself are simple or complex. The simplicity of including of complex boundary conditions together with the simplicity of computational mesh used by lattice gas methods are the main advantages of these methods in comparison with e.g. classical CFD methods.
The aim of the Symposium is the presentation of problems where the cellular automata and particularly the lattice-Boltzmann methods (LBM) are the useful tools for their solutions.
Particularly, the presented papers are concerned on newest advantages in lattice-Boltzmann simulations, i.e.:
LBM models for two or more phase flows (e.g. droplet dynamics and coalescence, wetting phenomena)
LBM models for the flows in porous structures (e.g. regional groundwater flow simulations)
Applications of LBM to problems with moving boundaries (e.g. the growth of the deposits of particles on filtration fibers)
Coupling of LBM algorithms with classical turbulence models (k-e, LES) for the solving of turbulent flow problems (e.g. simulations of open-channel flows)
Application of LBM for non-Newtonian fluid flows (e.g. polymer technology, blood flow)
Application of LBM for nonisotermal problems and many others.
Taking into account your experience and achievements in that field of research, I would like to invite you to participate in the Symposium.
