Boundaries in the Model

  Boundaries can be introduced into the model by initially labelling certain of the lattice sites. Different collision rules are then applied at these sites by the collision operator. No-slip conditions are introduced at a boundary by forcing any particle colliding with the boundary to return along the link on which it approached [21]. Figure 3-6 shows the no-slip boundary conditions for the HPP and FHP models for particles approaching a horizontal boundary.
