Generalized Boltzmann Equation for Lattice Gas Automata

Abstract
In this paper, for the first time a theory is formulated that predicts velocity and spatial correlations between occupation numbers that occur in lattice gas automata violating semi-detailed balance. Starting from a coupled BBGKY hierarchy for the -particle distribution functions, cluster expansion techniques are used to derive approximate kinetic equations. In zeroth approximation the standard nonlinear Boltzmann equation is obtained; the next approximation yields the ring kinetic equation, similar to that for hard sphere systems, describing the time evolution of pair correlations. As a quantitative test we calculate equal time correlation functions in equilibrium for two models that violate semi-detailed balance. One is a model of interacting random walkers on a line, the other one is a two-dimensional fluid type model on a triangular lattice. The numerical predictions agree very well with computer simulations.
