Lattice gas automata or lattice gas cellular automata are a type of cellular automaton used to simulate fluid flows. They were the precursor to the lattice Boltzmann methods. From lattice gas automata, it is possible to derive the macroscopic Navier-Stokes equations. Interest in lattice gas automaton methods levelled off in the early 1990s, as the interest in the lattice Boltzmann started to rise.
As a cellular automaton, these models comprise a lattice, where the sites on the lattice can take a certain number of different states. In lattice gas, the various states are particles with certain velocities. Evolution of the simulation is done in discrete time steps. After each time step, the state at a given site can be determined by the state of the site itself and neighboring sites, before the time step.
The state at each site is purely boolean. At a given site, there either is or is not a particle moving in each direction.
At each time step, two processes are carried out, propagation and collision.

This is a hexagonal lattice gas simulator I wrote, running with a grid size of 1920x1248. The number of frames of simulation shown here (just over 5700) takes about five seconds to simulate on an 8 core machine, but is shown here at one frame per simulation step. The code can be downloaded here: http://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/MIT/864.11/people/Peter_Schmidt_Nielsen/index.html
This simulation represents the evolution of an 400x400 Ising lattice gas at low temperature, in the phase coexistence regime; it is done in the canonical ensemble (fixed number of particles). As can be seen, the system spontaneously segregates into a liquid (high density) and a gas phase (low density), by forming a droplet. As the size of the system increases, the shape of the droplet becomes deterministic, and is described by the Wulff construction. Simulation by Y. Velenik.
