Abstract:  

In the last 20 years, the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) has spawned remarkable scientific achievements for complex phenomena of scientific and technological interest, including multi-phase, multi-component and reacting flows, fluxes through complex micro-and nano-scale porous media and even biophysical flows. 
In this talk, the essential basics of the LBM will be portrayed, with a special focus on its most interesting and relevant multi-scale applications, including pseudo-potential multiphase flows, fluid-structural interaction and High Performance Computing (HPC) applications for complex systems. 
The final goal is to show that LBM has proven to be a highly versatile and reliable tool, providing an interesting alternative to classical methods, based on the continuum assumption and the Navier-Stokes equations. 

The seminar will be held in the Main Auditorium and it will also be streamed online via zoom at this link:
