The above equation is the working horse of the lattice Boltzmann method and

replaces NavierStokes equation in CFD simulations. It is possible to derive


NavierStokes equation from Boltzmann equation. We can make comments as the
followings about Eq. 2.15:
1. The equation is a linear partial differential equation.
2. The equation looks like an advection equation with a source term.
3. The right-hand side of the equation represents the advection (streaming).
4. The left-hand side term represents the collision process, source term.
