How to predict turbulence with Lattice Boltzmann?

Daniel

Hi all,

1. How to predict turbulence with Lattice Boltzmann? Does it use the same idea just as what we use for dealing with Navier-stokes equation?

2. Are there any free eBooks for LB Method?

3. I noticed that in Lattice-Boltzmann method, being one of the method, to increase Reynolds number is to modify the the relaxation time, what does the relaxation time mean? Is it something like to move an structure from air to water?

4. Beside the wikipedia, Can any one give some comment on this Method, I am quite new to it.

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards, Daniel
