Integer Lattice Gas with Monte Carlo collision operator recovers the entropic lattice Boltzmann method with Poisson distributed fluctuations

We are examining a new kind of lattice gas that closely resembles modern lattice Boltzmann methods. This new kind of lattice gas, that we call a Monte Carlo Lattice Gas, has interesting properties that shed light on the origin of the multi-relaxation time collision operator and it derives the equilibrium distribution for entropic lattice Boltzmann. Furthermore these lattice gas methods have Galilean invariant fluctuations given by a Poisson statistics, giving further insight into the properties that we should expect for fluctuating lattice Boltzmann methods.
