Lattice Boltzmann methods are a fully discrete model and numerical method for simulating fluid dynamics, historically they have been developed as a continuation of lattice gas systems. Another route to a lattice Boltzmann system is a discrete approximation to the Boltzmann equation. An analysis of lattice Boltzmann systems is usually performed from one of these directions. In this thesis the lattice Boltzmann method is presented ab initio as a fully discrete system in its own right. Using the Invariant Manifold hypothesis the microscopic and macroscopic fluid dynamics arising from such a model are found. In particular this analysis represents a validation for lattice Boltzmann methods far from equilibrium. Far from equilibrium, at high Reynolds or Mach numbers, lattice Boltzmann methods can exhibit stability problems. In this work a conditional stability theorem for lattice Boltzmann methods is established. Furthermore several practical numerical techniques for stabilizing lattice Boltzmann schemes are tested.

We introduce a universal sparse preconditioner that accelerates geometry optimisation and saddle point search tasks that are common in the atomic scale simulation of materials. Our preconditioner is based on the neighbourhood structure and we demonstrate the gain in computational efficiency in a wide range of materials that include metals, insulators and molecular solids. The simple structure of the preconditioner means that the gains can be realised in practice not only when using expensive electronic structure models but also for fast empirical potentials. Even for relatively small systems of a few hundred atoms, we observe speedups of a factor of two or more, and the gain grows with system size. An open source Python implementation within the Atomic Simulation Environment is available, offering interfaces to a wide range of atomistic codes.

Hodgson's only drawback came in Round 23 when he pleaded no contest for a grapple tackle on Melbourne Storm prop Jesse Bromwich.
