Abstract

We discuss an alternative technique to the lattice-gas automata for the study of hydrodynamic properties, namely, we propose to model the lattice gas with a Boltzmann equation. This approach completely eliminates the statistical noise that plagues the usual lattice-gas simulations and therefore permits simulations that demand much less computer time. It is estimated to be more efficient than the lattice-gas automata for intermediate to low Reynolds number $R\ensuremath{\lesssim}100$.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
