Cellular automata modeling of physical systems / Bastien Chopard and Michel Droz. - Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 1998. - 1 online resource (xii, 341 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). - Collection Aléa-Saclay : monographs and texts in statistical physics . - Collection Aléa-Saclay. .
Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Introduction -- Cellular automata modeling -- Statistical mechanics of lattice gas -- Diffusion phenomena -- Reaction-diffusion processes -- Nonequilibrium phase transitions -- Other models and applications. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
This book provides a self-contained introduction to cellular automata and lattice Boltzmann techniques. Beginning with a chapter introducing the basic concepts of this developing field, a second chapter describes methods used in cellular automata modeling. Following chapters discuss the statistical mechanics of lattice gases, diffusion phenomena, reaction-diffusion processes and non-equilibrium phase transitions. A final chapter looks at other models and applications, such as wave propagation and multiparticle fluids. With a pedagogic approach, the volume focuses on the use of cellular automata in the framework of equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical physics. It also emphasises application-oriented problems such as fluid dynamics and pattern formation. The book contains many examples and problems. A glossary and a detailed bibliography are also included. This will be a valuable book for graduate students and researchers working in statistical physics, solid state physics, chemical physics and computer science.
