Abstract

The lattice Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook modeled fluid has an unchangeable unit Prandtl number. A simple method is introduced in this report to formulate a flexible Prandtl number for the modeled fluid. The effectiveness of this method was demonstrated by numerical simulation of the Couette flow.
