Lattice Boltzmann simulations for the vortex tori pattern in the three-dimensional cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation

A lattice Boltzmann model for solving the three-dimensional cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CQCGLE) is proposed. Differently from the classic lattice Boltzmann models, this lattice Boltzmann model is based on uniformly distributed lattice points in a three-dimensional space, and the evolution of the model is about a spatial axis rather than time. The algorithm provides advantages similar to the lattice Boltzmann method in that it is easily adapted to complex Ginzburg-Landau equations. Examples show that the model accurately reproduces the vortex tori pattern in the CQCGLE.
