Abstract
According to the conventional Maxwell distribution function, a new equilibrium distribution function based on a discrete velocity model (D2Q13) is proposed. A parallel lattice Boltzmann algorithm based on this new function is used for simulating the lid-driven cavity flow. The experimental results validate the correctness of the new equilibrium distribution function.
