Boltzmann Methods in Water Resources.

Organiser: Mohamed Ghidaoui,  Hong Kong University of Science and Technology ghidaoui@ust.hk

Boltzmann methods have recently attracted the interests of researchers in the water resources field. These methods are turning out to be both a conceptually satisfying and a numerically viable approach to modeling in the water resources field. Boltzmann methods can be broadly divided into Lattice Boltzmann (LB) and Boltzmann Battnager-Gross-Krook (BGK).  The special session will be devoted to the merits of the LB and BGK approaches as well to comparison between the two methods.
