The current generation of graphics cards allows great flexibility in programming. With the introduction of general purpose programming languages for graphics cards, many fields of scientific application will benefit greatly from adapting to this new programming model. Due to the differences in the memory and execution models, not all algorithms can be applied. However, the lattice Boltzmann method can be used to great effect. It allows the simulation of fluids using basic arithmetic operations with a linear complexity, as will be demonstrated. Additionally, the discrete element method can also be adapted to the new model. After outlining the methods themselves and the integration of these two methods into a single simulation, this article will show a way to implement it on graphics cards using the CUDA platform.
