Regularized lattice BGK versus highly accurate spectral methods for cavity flow simulations

The regularized lattice BGK (RLBGK) is validated against high-accuracy spectral Chebyshev methods for lid-driven cavity flows. RLBGK is shown to provide a viable alternative to standard lattice BGK schemes, with significant enhancement of numerical stability at a very moderate computational extra-cost. © 2014 World Scientific Publishing Company.
