Abstract

This article deals with the development of an alternative method for modelling irrigation channel systems. We propose in this paper, a lattice gas approach which has been already used for modelling two-dimensional fluid based on a fully discrete microscopic rule. These models describe the motion of fluid particles traveling in a discrete space and colliding with each other [3, 11]. The considered models named FHP lattice-gas are introduced by Frisch, Hasslacher and Pomeau in 1986 [5] and used a hexagonal symmetry with microscopic rules that yield the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation in the macroscopic limit.
