Nature continuously presents a huge number of complex and
multi-scale phenomena, which in many cases, involve the presence of
one or more fluids flowing, merging and evolving around us. Since
its appearance on the surface of Earth, Mankind has tried to
exploit and tame fluids for their purposes, probably starting with
Hero's machinery to open the doors of the Temple of Serapis in
Alexandria to arrive to modern propulsion systems and actuators.
Today we know that fluid mechanics lies at the basis of countless
scientific and technical applications from the smallest physical
scales (nanofluidics, bacterial motility, and diffusive flows in
porous media), to the largest (from energy production in power
plants to oceanography and meteorology). It is essential to deepen
the understanding of fluid behaviour across scales for the progress
of Mankind and for a more sustainable and efficient future. Since
the very first years of the Third Millennium, the Lattice Boltzmann
Method (LBM) has seen an exponential growth of applications,
especially in the fields connected with the simulation of complex
and soft matter flows. LBM, in fact, has shown a remarkable
versatility in different fields of applications from nanoactive
materials, free surface flows, and multiphase and reactive flows to
the simulation of the processes inside engines and fluid machinery.
LBM is based on an optimized formulation of Boltzmann's Kinetic
Equation, which allows for the simulation of fluid particles, or
rather quasi-particles, from a mesoscopic point of view thus
allowing the inclusion of more fundamental physical interactions in
respect to the standard schemes adopted with Navier-Stokes solvers,
based on the continuum assumption. In this book, the authors
present the most recent advances of the application of the LBM to
complex flow phenomena of scientific and technical interest with
particular focus on the multi-scale modeling of heterogeneous
catalysis within nano-porous media and multiphase, multicomponent
flows.
