Lattice Gas Hydrodynamics describes the approach to fluid dynamics
using a micro-world constructed as an automaton universe, where the
microscopic dynamics is based not on a description of interacting
particles, but on the laws of symmetry and invariance of
macroscopic physics. We imagine point-like particles residing on a
regular lattice, where they move from node to node and undergo
collisions when their trajectories meet. If the collisions occur
according to some simple logical rules, and if the lattice has the
proper symmetry, then the automaton shows global behavior very
similar to that of real fluids. This book carries two important
messages. First, it shows how an automaton universe with simple
microscopic dynamics - the lattice gas - can exhibit macroscopic
behavior in accordance with the phenomenological laws of classical
physics. Second, it demonstrates that lattice gases have
spontaneous microscopic fluctuations which capture the essentials
of actual fluctuations in real fluids.
