Abstract

The Lattice Boltzmann method has been gaining acceptance for hydrodynamic problems involving complex boundaries, non-equilibrium dynamics and interfacial phenomena in multiphase or multicomponent systems. lb2d.pm is a Perl module offering a clear framework for simple Lattice Boltzmann simulations in 2D. The syntax and some basic applications are presented. Mainly, the new version 0.1 enables solute transport and accounts for reactive boundaries leading to surface growth.
