Lattice Boltzmann Methods for Shallow Water Flows

This book describes a modern numerical technique, a lattice Boltzmann method, for shallow water flows with or without flow turbulence. This method requires only a simple microscopic equation to determine the depth and velocity based on its recovered macroscopic properties. The method is accurate and efficient for simulating complicated flows and flows within complex geometries, so it is becoming a powerful design tool in fluids engineering. The book may be used as a reference for scientists and engineers, a practical guide to the method for consultant organisations, and a textbook for graduates in engineering sciences such as coastal, civil and environmental engineering.Zhou, Jian G. is the author of 'Lattice Boltzmann Methods for Shallow Water Flows', published 2004 under ISBN 9783540407461 and ISBN 3540407464.
