Abstract
For the past ten years there has been much progress in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), among which the formation and development of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) are an important new direction. We give a review on the main aspect and the latest development of this method in this article, and at the same time we also discuss the related development of scientific software and its impact on the real-world applications in industry.
