Cascaded digital lattice Boltzmann automata for high Reynolds number flow

Lattice Boltzmann methods are of limited applicability for direct numerical simulation of turbulent flow due to instabilities in the zero viscosity limit. We observe that this is caused by an insufficient degree of Galilean invariance of the relaxation-type Lattice Boltzmann collision operator. The cascaded digital lattice Boltzmann automata described here, provides a method with which to achieve stable collision operators down to the limit of zero viscosity.
