Author(s): T. Hatori Title: Magnetohydrodynamic Cellular Automata Date of publication: Feb. 1990 Key words: Magnetohydrodynamics, cellular automaton, lattice gas method Abstract: There has been a renewal of interest in cellular automata, partly because they give an architecture for a special purpose computer with parallel processing optimized to solve a particular problem. The lattice gas cellular automata are briefly surveyed, which are recently developed to solve partial differential equations such as hydrodynamics or magnetohydrodynamics. A new model is given in the present paper to implement the magnetic Lorentz force in a more deterministic and local procedure than the previous one.
