Introduction

According to Wikipedia,

Lattice gas automata (LGA), or lattice gas cellular automata, are a type of cellular automaton used to simulate fluid flows. They were the precursor to the lattice Boltzmann methods. From lattice gas automata, it is possible to derive the macroscopic Navier-Stokes equations

Here is a prallel implementation of the Lattice Gas Cellular Automata. The serial implementation is a modified version of William Power's repository LGS
