Abstract: | The lattice‐BGK method has been extended by introducing additional, free parameters in the original formulation of the lattice‐BGK methods. The relationship between these parameters and the macroscopic moment equations is analysed by Taylor series and Chapman–Enskog expansion. The parameters are determined from the macroscopic moment equations by comparisons with the governing equations to be modelled. Extensions are presented for the Navier–Stokes equations at low Mach numbers in Cartesian or axisymmetric coordinates with constant or variable density, for scalar convection–diffusion equations and for equations of Poisson type. The generalized lattice‐BGK concept is demonstrated by two applications of chemical engineering. These are the computation of chemically reacting flow through an axisymmetric reactor and of the transport and deposition of particles to filters under the action of different forces.
