The development of models for electrolytes is challenging due to the long-range nature of electric interactions. We propose a novel implementation of a lattice Boltzmann model that solves a number of limitations and inconsistencies in previously proposed variants and discuss the range of parameters the model can cover. We show how the relevant electrohydrodynamic couplings are recovered analyzi...

In this paper we present an implementation for the QPACE supercomputer of a Lattice Boltzmann model of a fluid-dynamics flow in 2 dimensions. QPACE is a massively parallel application-driven system powered by the Cell processor. We review the structure of the model, describe in details its implementation on QPACE and finally present performance data and preliminary physics results.

In order to study the rheological characteristics of magnetorheological fluids, a novel approach based on the two-component Lattice Boltzmann method with double meshes was proposed, and the micro-scale structures of magnetorheological fluids in different strength magnetic fields were simulated. The framework composed of three steps for the simulation of magnetorheological fluids was addressed, ...

Lattice-Gas Dynamics Volume I Viscous Fluids The theory and computation of lattice gas dynamics for viscous fluid hydrodynamics is presented. Theoretical analysis of these exactly conserved, discrete models is done using the Boltzmann approximation, a mean-field theoretical treatment. Theoretical results are then compared to numerical data arrived at by exactly computed simulations of simple la...

A non-ideal gas lattice Boltzmann model is directly derived, in an a priori fashion, from the Enskog equation for dense gases. The model is rigorously obtained by a systematic procedure to discretize the Enskog equation (in the presence of an external force) in both phase space and time. The lattice Boltzmann model derived here is thermodynamically consistent and is free of the defects which ex...

We present a lattice Boltzmann model to describe the spreading of droplets on topologically patterned substrates. We apply it to model superhydrophobic behaviour on surfaces covered by an array of micron-scale posts. We find that the patterning results in a substantial increase in contact angle, from 110 o to 156 o .

In this paperwe adapt thewell-knownBrzozowskideterminizationmethod to fuzzy automata. Thismethod gives better results than all previously knownmethods for determinization of fuzzy automata developed by Bělohlávek [InformSciences 143 (2002)205–209],Li andPedrycz [FuzzySet Syst 156 (2005)68–92], Ignjatović et al.
