This improvement is achieved by controlling the relaxation time, modifying the equilibrium state, and employing more and higher lattice speeds, in a manner suggested by our analysis of the Taylor-series expansion method. The model's enhanced stability enables us to use larger time increments, thereby more than compensating for the extra computation required by the high lattice speeds. Furthermore, even though the time increments are larger than those of the previous scheme, the same level of accuracy is maintained because of the smaller truncation error of the new scheme. As a result, total performance with the new scheme on the D1Q7 lattice is improved by 92% compared to the original scheme on the D1Q5 lattice. %[ 2018-10-10 %9 Text %~ Tufts Digital Library %W Institution
