Webinar on the IAHR Water Monograph Application of the Lattice-Boltzmann Method in Hydraulics

Monday, 02 June 2026 - 03:00pm (Central European Summer Time)

This webinar is part of the Series to present the content of the latest IAHR Water Monographs.

The lattice-Boltzmann (LB) method is a way of performing simulations of fluid flow and related transport processes, and in this monograph, we argue that it is a useful addition to more mainstream computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods based on finite volumes, finite differences or finite elements. There are many reasons for using the LB method, and also many reasons for not using it. The usefulness of the LB method largely depends on the specific application, including the level of detail one is interested in resolving through simulation. It also depends on the availability of computational resources.

An understanding of the LB method, its implementation in computer code, as well as demonstrations of sample applications in the realm of hydraulics will help the reader in deciding if a specific application could benefit from the method and – if so – will hopefully enable a quick start.

This webinar is aimed at:

• Practising Hydraulic Engineers

• CFD Engineers and Numerical Modellers

• Researchers and Graduate Students

• Water Resources and Environmental Engineers

• Scientific Computing and HPC Professionals

• Urban Water Systems Specialists

• Consultants and Technical Practitioners

• Professionals Interested in Advanced Flow Simulation Methods
