A modified lattice Boltzmann model with a stochastic relaxation
mechanism mimicking “virtual” collisions between free-streaming
particles and solid walls is introduced. This modified scheme
permits to compute plane channel flows in satisfactory agreement
with analytical results over a broad spectrum of Knudsen numbers,
ranging from the hydrodynamic regime, all the way to quasi-free
flow regimes up to 
.
