Description

We systematically derived hydrodynamic equations and transport coefficients for a class of multi-speed lattice Boltzmann models in D dimensions, using the multi-scale technique. The constitutive relation of physical fluid is recovered by a modified equilibrium distribution in Maxwell-Boltzmann type. With the use of the rest particles and the particle reservoir, we were able to add one degree of freedom into the sound speed of the modeled fluid. When the sound speed is tuned small enough, the compressible region of fluid flow can be reached. An example 2-D model is presented, together with the numerical verification for its transport coefficients.
