Multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model-based four-level finite-difference scheme for one-dimensional diffusion equations.

In this paper, we first present a multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann (MRT-LB) model for one-dimensional diffusion equation where the D1Q3 (three discrete velocities in one-dimensional space) lattice structure is considered. Then through the theoretical analysis, we derive an explicit four-level finite-difference scheme from this MRT-LB model. The results show that the four-level finite-difference scheme is unconditionally stable, and through adjusting the weight coefficient ω_{0} and the relaxation parameters s_{1} and s_{2} corresponding to the first and second moments, it can also have a sixth-order accuracy in space. Finally, we also test the four-level finite-difference scheme through some numerical simulations and find that the numerical results are consistent with our theoretical analysis.
