Abstract
the problem of cellular automaton simulating fluid flows in porous media is considered. A 3D cellular automaton model RD-1 was used. the model structure is briefly described. The boundary conditions and the time averaging procedure are considered in detail. A series of computational experiments concerned with simulating a fluid flow through a porous medium is presented. The flow characteristics are compared with the Darcy law and other physical laws.Tthe velocity field of a model flow in a porous medium is illustrated.
