关于格子Boltzmann方法的几个问题(Ⅰ)

摘要

The lattice gas method and the subsequent lattice Boltzmann method are new methods which are completely different from th traditional calculation of the flow field.Its development tendency and the impact on the traditional fluid mechanics were unexpected was hailed as a revolution in modern fluid mechanics.This paper mainly discusses the source of relevant thought and some key work in the development process of this field in order to give a review of these stirring years.Historically,five stages in the development of lattice Boltzmann methods can be distinguished. We follow the corresponding exciting development of both methods since 1989 and the men who have made contributions to this field.%格子气方法及后续发展的格子Boltzmann方法,是一种完全不同于传统流场计算的基于介观物理的新方法.由于其内在的优势,尽管该方法问世不过几十年的时间,就在传统计算流体力学难于处理的研究领域得到了广泛的应用,被誉为是现代流体力学的一场变革.文章主要论述了格子Boltzmann方法有关学术思想的源头,论述在该论题发展过程中的一些关键性工作.
