Classical Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM)

Add by Qiang

• See the video, which is based on this code.

C implementation of the classical lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) using the D2Q9 and D3Q19 models, based on Nils Thuerey's PhD thesis (see Ref. 1).

Compiling and running the C code:

• Windows: Visual Studio project files are provided in the vcproj folder (standalone test and demonstration files) and the vcproj_mlink and vcproj_wstp folders (Mathematica MathLink/WSTP interface)
• Linux, MacOSX etc: see the makefiles in the bin folder (standalone test and demonstration files) and the mlink folder (Mathematica MathLink/WSTP interface)

The Mathematica .cdf (computable document format) demonstration files in the test folder can be viewed with the free CDF Player or opened and edited with Mathematica.
