Lattice Boltzmann Modeling in Natural Sciences

Introduction to the lattice Boltzmann method for solving problems such as diffusion in complex media, fluid dynamics, porous and reactive transport, multiphase flows, and the propagation of waves. The course will cover an introduction to Boltzmann theory and the discretization of the equations on the lattices, the implementation of various solvers (diffusion, Navier-Stokes equations...) and application to problems in Natural Sciences and Engineering. This course will be divided between lectures and coding practicum and has a final project designed by the student.
