• Abstract

In this paper, we propose a class of numerical methods based on discrete-velocity vector-BGK models for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. By analyzing a splitting method with Maxwell iteration, we show that the usual lattice Boltzmann discretization of the vector-BGK models provides a good numerical scheme. Moreover, we establish the stability of the numerical scheme. The stability and second-order accuracy of the scheme are validated through numerical simulations of the two-dimensional Taylor-Green vortex flows. Further numerical tests are conducted to exhibit some potential advantages of the vector-BGK models, which can be regarded as competitive alternatives of the scalar-BGK models.

• Keywords

Vector-BGK models, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, Maxwell iteration, weighted $L^2$-stability.
