Comment on Numerics of the lattice Boltzmann method: Effects of collision models on the lattice Boltzmann simulations

Critical comments on the entropic lattice Boltzmann equation (ELBE), by Li-Shi Luo, Wei Liao, Xingwang Chen, Yan Peng, and Wei Zhang in Ref. [1], are based on simulations, which make use of a model that, despite being referred to as the ELBE by the authors, is in fact equivalent to the standard lattice Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook equation for low Mach number simulations. In this Comment, a concise review of the ELBE is provided and illustrated by means of a three-dimensional turbulent flow simulation, which highlights the subgrid features of the ELBE.
