Abstract

We present an overview of the FHP model and the Lattice BGK model. Details regarding boundary conditions and initial conditions are discussed throught implementations on driven cavity flow, Poiseuille flow, and flow past a cylinder. We describe our implementations of the method, justify the method and present some results, and analysis for different Reynolds numbers.
