Gas on network

A gas on network is a cellular type of Automate intended to simulate the behavior of a Fluide.

Description

The gases on network are methods making it possible to determine numerical solutions with the Navier-Stokes equations within the framework of a cellular automat.

A gas on network models space in the form of a network with two or three dimensions. The fluid is modelled by particles which can move between the nodes of the network; these particles are regarded as having all the same mass.

Each iteration of the cellular automat proceeds in two phases:

  • a phase of propagation: the particles having a nonnull speed move towards an adjacent node, according to the meshs of the network.

  • a phase of collision: if several particles arrive on the same node, their new direction is determined by rules of collision. These rules preserve the number of particles, the momentum and energy before and after the collisions.
