4.0 out of 5 stars
In depth analysis of LGCA hydrodynamics. Good reference.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lattice-Gas Cellular Automata: Simple Models of Complex Hydrodynamics (Collection Alea-Saclay: Monographs and Texts in Statistical Physics) (Hardcover)
Rothman is a principal in the field of LGCA research, and it shows: the introductory material is lucid and self-contained. The more advanced topics (e.g., the statistical mechanics of LGCA) are also generally well-written, although not self-contained: many readers coming from computer science or without a solid background in statistical mechanics or fluid mechanics may struggle at times. Still, this is a relatively minor shortcoming, and the generous references more than make up for it. Overall a good book and a good introduction to the subject.NB. The authors have a link to their codes for LGCA; however, the book does not touch on the actual implementation of the theory: readers who want to model LGCA hydro for themselves will have to implement and modify the codes without the benefit of much explanation. |
