Lattice Boltzmann schemes without coordinates.
We discuss recent developments extending the scope of the lattice Boltzmann method to unstructured (coordinateless) grids with arbitrary connectivity. Besides their intrinsic interest as examples of discrete kinetic systems living in irregular phase-space, the above extensions bear a direct relevance as computational tools for multi-scale applications.
