Abstract

In this paper, we develop a lattice Boltzmann model for a class of one-dimensional nonlinear wave equations, including the second-order hyperbolic telegraph equation, the nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation, the damped and undamped sine-Gordon equation and double sine-Gordon equation. By choosing properly the conservation condition between the macroscopic quantity \(u_t\) and the distribution functions and applying the Chapman–Enskog expansion, the governing equation is recovered correctly from the lattice Boltzmann equation. Moreover, the local equilibrium distribution function is obtained. The results of numerical examples have been compared with the analytical solutions to confirm the good accuracy and the applicability of our scheme.
