Abstract
A Lattice Boltzmann Method for van der Waals fluids with variable temperature is described. Thermo-hydrodynamic equations are correctly reproduced at second order of a Chapman-Enskog expansion. The method is applied to study initial stages of phase separation of a fluid quenched by contact with colder walls. Thermal equilibration is favoured by pressure waves which propagate with the sound velocity.
