Cellular automata have been used recently for simulations of fluid motion. However, applications of this method have been limited to flows with unchanged cinfigurations becase of difficulty with the boundary conditions. In this paper, we studied the flow around a flat plate moving in the normal direction in a rectangular domain by using the FHP-1 model, and presented a procedure for treating its boundary conditions. The results of the simulation agreed well with those of experiments of flow visualization.
