On Modeling and Simulation of Flows of Water by 3D-Cellular Automata

By an earlier paper [1] a 3-D cellular automata model CA was suggested to investigate a possible existence of stable clusters in liquid water in (or after) a state of turbulence. In order to take in the model molecular forces into account, we proposed a model for the molecular level of description. To make such a cellular model as simple as possible the geometrical form of each cell was assumed to be a (regular) cube. Regarding the topology of the cellular automata model CA we assumed for each cell c the associated neighborhood N(c) consisting of the 6 cells c₀, c₁,...,c₅ which are adjacent to c (“von Neumann neighborhood”).
