We introduce a Boltzmann equation on discrete lattices and demonstrate its applicability for the numerical simulation of flows in the transition regime to fluid dynamics. The application concerns an evaporation condensation where the fluid dynamic flow is ruled by a thin kinetic boundary layer. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
