A fluctuating lattice-Boltzmann method with improved Galilean invariance    [PDF]

G. Kaehlerand, A. J. Wagner
In this paper we show that standard implementations of fluctuating Lattice Boltzmann methods do not obey Galilean invariance at a fundamental level. In trying to remedie this we are led to a novel kind of multi-relaxation time lattice Boltzmann methods where the collision matrix depends on the local velocity. This new method is conceptually elegant but numerically inefficient. With a small numerical trick, however, this method recovers nearly the original efficiency and allows the practical implementation of fluctuating lattice Boltzmann methods with significantly improved Galilean invariance. This will be important for applic
