Abstract
We rigorously derive a dramatically simplified kinetic model for fluids with internal degrees of freedom. With proper discretization in velocity space, the model leads to a lattice Boltzmann model for polyatomic gases. The macroscopic recovery of correct hydrodynamics is theoretically shown and numerically validated.Year: 2008 PMID: 18517454 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevE.77.035701
