Abstract
The Maxwell-Boltzmann moment system can be seen as a particular case of a mathematically more general moment system proposed by Machado in Ref [1]. This last moment system, whose integral generating form and a suggested continuous distribution are presented here, is used in this letter to theoretically show (one of) its usefulness: A flexible Prandtl number can be obtained in both the Boltzmann equation and in the lattice Boltzmann equation with a conventional single relaxation time Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook collision model.
