What a great week at the University of Liverpool! Bringing together the LBM-community, with 42 ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ for our 9th Spring School on Lattice Boltzmann Methods. We would like to thank our friends at University of Liverpool, John Bridgeman, Davide Dapelo and Mohaddeseh Mousavi Nezhad for hosting this year’s Spring School, which allowed us to introduce and help so many people to the methods, theory and best practices of LBM. The spring school provides both an environment for learning and understanding LBM, but also for developing new and interesting research problems. Also a big thank you to Shota Ito, Tikhon Riazantsev, Mathias J. Krause and Stephan Simonis for organizing this year’s OpenLB spring school.

This years poster session allowed insights into the research of the LBM-community, showing off the huge range of different problems that are tackled using LBM. We would also like to congratulate Maxence Desnoyers on winning this years poster session with his poster on a “Numerical Framework to Study Structural Wetting Properties of Proton Exchange Membrance Fuel Cell Catalyst Layers”.
We would also like to thank this yearโs invited speakers: Fedor Bukreev, Isabelle Cheylan, Davide Dapelo, Shota Ito, Florian Kaiser, Mathias J. Krause, Timm Krรผger, Adrian Kummerlรคnder, Halim Kusumaatmaja, Tim Reis, and Stephan Simonis.
The preparations for next years spring school are already underway. It will take place from April 5-9 2027 in Erlangen, Germany. We are looking forward to seeing you there! Until then, stay tuned and happy research!
