Hydrodynamics beyond Navier-Stokes: Exact solution to the lattice Boltzmann hierarchy
arXiv:cond-mat/0703440 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.98.124502
Abstract
Exact solution to the hierarchy of nonlinear lattice Boltzmann (LB) kinetic equations in the stationary planar Couette flow is found at non-vanishing Knudsen numbers. A new method of solving LB kinetic equations which combines the method of moments with boundary conditions for populations enables to derive closed-form solutions for all higher-order moments. Convergence of results suggests that the LB hierarchy with larger velocity sets is the novel way to approximate kinetic theory.
