Lattice Boltzmann methods for flows of complex fluids

This thesis presents the extension of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to the solution of the Fokker-Planck equation with the FENE force law, on a single lattice for the use of modelling the flows of polymeric liquids. First implementation and the basic theory of the LBM is discussed including the...
