Abstract
We present here three models for convection. The models make use of the concept of cellular automata (CA). CA are discrete systems. The advantages of CA are their simple and parallel structure. The simplest of the presented models simulates two-dimensional Boussinesq convection. The two other models are extensions to compressible fluids and three-dimensional convection, respectively. We derive the model equations for the simplest model and present some of our results.
