A Parallel Cellular Automata Implementation on a Transputer Network for the Simulation of Small Scale Fluid Flow Experiments

The cellular automata technique has proven to be useful for direct simulation of fluid flow experiments in both two and three dimensions. We will present a method to impose boundary conditions on complex geometries, consistently with the microscopic behaviour of a cellular automaton. Furthermore we will show how the three dimensional model can be implemented on a MIMD machine with local memory.
