Progress in the Understanding of the Fluctuating Lattice Boltzmann Equation

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-13 v2

Abstract

We give a brief account of the development of methods to include thermal fluctuations into lattice Boltzmann algorithms. Emphasis is put on our recent work (Phys. Rev. E 76, 036704 (2007)) which provides a clear understanding in terms of statistical mechanics.
