Overview

This book describes a modern numerical technique, a lattice Boltzmann method, for shallow water flows with or without flow turbulence. This method requires only a simple microscopic equation to determine the depth and velocity based on its recovered macroscopic properties. The method is accurate and efficient for simulating complicated flows and flows within complex geometries, so it is becoming a powerful design tool in fluids engineering. The book may be used as a reference for scientists and engineers, a practical guide to the method for consultant organisations, and a textbook for graduates in engineering sciences such as coastal, civil and environmental engineering.

Author Information

Dr. Jian Guo Zhou graduated from Wuhan University with first degree in River Mechanics and River Engineering and subsequently finished his MSc in Hydraulics and Fluvial Mechanics at Tsinghua University. He received his PhD  in Fluid Mechanics from Leeds University. Since then, he has been working in computational fluid dynamics. His representative contributions are the surface gradient method for the treatment of the source terms in shallow water equations, the elastic-collision scheme for slip/semi-slip boundary conditions for lattice Boltzmann methods, the centered scheme for the force terms in the lattice Boltzmann equation, and lattice Boltzmann methods for shallow water equations with or without turbulence modelling.
