Abstract
The cellular automata technique has proven to be useful for direct simulation of fluid flow experiments in both two and three dimensions. We will present a method to impose boundary conditions on complex geometries, consistently with the microscopic behaviour of a cellular automaton. Furthermore we will show how the three dimensional model can be implemented on a MIMD machine with local memory.
