Abstract
Lattice-Boltzmann methods are being increasingly used to solve problems in computational fluid dynamics. The combination of robustness and simplicity has made it the method of choice for problems involving fluid flow through geometrically complex structures. Progress in several areas is summarized in a recent review article [1]. In this paper I will focus on applications of the lattice-Boltzmann method to simulations of particle-fluid suspensions. Since the basic principles of the method have already been described [2, 3], the focus of this article will be a review of recent developments and a discussion of some of the fine points that arise in practical applications of the method. In particular I will contrast the accuracy and complexity of different solid-fluid boundary conditions, discuss the application of an external pressure gradient, and describe additional complications arising from particle motion.
