Codes

The (very old) "Lattice Gas Cellular Automata Package" puts together codes written by S. Zaleski, D. H. Rothman and their groups.  It may be downloaded from here:

Please note that a number of bugs were found in the Fhp7_msite section.  A patch written by John Lapeyre has been included in this file:  Fhp7_msite-0.98p1.tar.gz

The writing of the codes benefited from many inputs from collaborators and students.
In addition, the Fhp7_msite code borrows from the boolean collision
algorithm published in:
