The lattice Boltzmann equation was introduced about 20 years ago as a new paradigm for computational fluid dynamics. In this paper, we revisit the main formulation of the lattice Boltzmann collision integral (matrix model) and introduce a new two-parametric family of collision operators, which permits us to combine enhanced stability and accuracy of matrix models with the outstanding simplicity of the most popular single-relaxation time schemes. The option of the revised lattice Boltzmann equation is demonstrated through numerical simulations of a three-dimensional lid-driven cavity.

We investigate the time-asymptotic stability of planar rarefaction wave for the 3D bipolar Vlasov–Poisson Boltzmann (VPB) system, based on the micro–macro decompositions introduced in [T. P. Liu and S. H. Yu, Boltzmann equation: Micro–macro decompositions and positivity of shock profiles, Comm. Math. Phys. 246 (2004) 133–179; Energy method for the Boltzmann equation, Physica D 188 (2004) 178–192] and our new observations on the underlying wave structures of the equation to overcome the difficulties due to the wave propagation along the transverse directions and its interactions with the planar rarefaction wave. Note that this is the first stability result of basic wave patterns for bipolar VPB system in three dimensions.
