Abstract: The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is a powerful method which has been introduced recently in numerical hydraulics. Since then, many important results have been obtained. The main advantage of the LBM with respect to other numerical methods, based on the classical governing equations (Navier-Stokes or shallow water), is its intrinsic linearity and versatility. The aim of this work is to present the formulation and the application of the LBM to the advection-diffusion of a contaminant in a porous medium. After having stated the advection diffusion problem in a porous medium and having presented the correspondent LBM formulation, some numerical results are presented.
