Cellular Automata: Prospects In Astrophysical Applications - Proceedings Of The Workshop On Cellular Automata Models For Astrophysical Phenomena

ISBN: 9789810213466 出版年：1993 页码：418 A Lejeune J M Perdang World Scientific Publishing Company

This book provides a survey of the basic ideas of the cellular automaton (CA) modelling environment, emphasising the relevance of this framework to astrophysical applications. It contains introductory level lectures on lattice gases, and on CA turbulence, diffusion-reaction processes, percolation and self-organised criticality. Further, it gives a variety of astrophysical applications, including stellar oscillations, galactic evolution, distribution of luminous matter in the universe, etc.
