Keywords:

lattice Boltzmann method
Abstract
A computer implementation of a method to simulate the motion of a single-phase one-component viscous gas in three dimensions is considered. The method is based on the application of the lattice Boltzmann equations. The method has a number of advantages compared with the approach of describing the gas dynamics on the basis of the Navier-Stokes equations. A verification of this computer implementation is performed. The numerical results are compared with the corresponding analytical dependencies.
