Abstract
We review recent developments of the Lattice Boltzmann Equation method (LBE) for incompressible hydrodynamics. Modifications of the discrete Boltzmann equation for a lattice gas to improve its efficiency as a numerical method are discussed. Estimations of the minimum lattice size necessary for high Reynolds number simulations are given, showing that this minimum arises from physical properties of the flows (range of scales to resolve) and not from any intrinsic limitation of the lattice gas method. Applications of the LBE to several problems are presented.
