A lattice Boltzmann scheme associated with flexible Prandtl number and specific heat ratio is proposed, which is based on the polyatomic ellipsoidal statistics model(ES-BGK). The Prandtl number can be modified by a parameter of the Gaussian distribution and the specific heat ratio can be modified by additional free degrees. For the sake of constructing the scheme proposed, the Gaussian distribution is expanded on the Hermite polynomials and the general term formula for the Hermite coefficients of the Gaussian distribution is deduced. Benchmarks are carried out to verify the scheme proposed. The numerical results are in good agreement with the the analytical solutions., Comment: 7pages, 2 figures

A new lattice Boltzmann scheme associated with flexible specific heat ratio is proposed. The new free degree is introduced via the internal energy associated with the internal structure. The evolution equation of the distribution function is reduced to two evolution equations. One is connected to the density and velocity, the other is of the energy. A two-dimensional lattice Boltzmann model and a three-dimensional lattice Boltzmann model are derived via the Hermite expansion. The two lattice Boltzmann models are applied to simulating the shock tube of one dimension. Good agreement between the numerical results and the analytical solutions are obtained., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1606.06107

A decoupled scheme based on the Hermite expansion to construct lattice Boltzmann models for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with arbitrary specific heat ratio is proposed. The local equilibrium distribution function including the rotational velocity of particle is decoupled into two parts, i.e. the local equilibrium distribution function of the translational velocity of particle and that of the rotational velocity of particle. From these two local equilibrium functions, two lattice Boltzmann models are derived via the Hermite expansion, namely one is in relation to the translational velocity and the other is connected with the rotational velocity. Accordingly, the distribution function is also decoupled. After this, the evolution equation is decoupled into the evolution equation of the translational velocity and that of the rotational velocity. The two evolution equations evolve separately. The lattice Boltzmann models used in the scheme proposed by this work are constructed via the Hermite expansion, so it is easy to construct new schemes of higher-order accuracy. To validate the proposed scheme, a shock tube simulation is performed. The numerical results agree with the analytical solutions very well., Comment: 9 pages,1 figure
