CONCLUSIONS • Continuous in time and space discrete ordinate equation is used as a link from the LB to Navier-Stokes and Boltzmann equations. This approach allows us to increase the accuracy of the method and leads to new boundary conditions. • The method was applied to simulation of a very subtle kinetic effect, namely, thermophoretic flows with small Knudsen numbers. • The new implicit collision rule for non-Newtonian rheology improves the stability of the calculations, but requires the solution of a (one-dimensional) non-linear algebraic equation at each point and at each time step. In the practically important case of Bingham liquid this equation can be solved analytically.
