Generalized Maxwell state and H theorem for computing fluid flows using the lattice Boltzmann method.
Generalized Maxwell distribution function is derived analytically for the lattice Boltzmann (LB) method. All the previously introduced equilibria for LB are found as special cases of the generalized Maxwellian. The generalized Maxwellian is used to derive a different class of multiple relaxation-time LB models and prove the H theorem for them.
