A novel formulation of fluid dynamics as a kinetic theory with tailored, on-demand constructed particles removes restrictions on flow speed and temperature as compared to its predecessors, the lattice Boltzmann methods and their modifications. In the new kinetic theory, discrete particles are determined by a rigorous limit process which avoids ad hoc assumptions about their velocities. Classical benchmarks for incompressible and compressible flows demonstrate that the proposed discrete-particles kinetic theory opens up an unprecedented wide domain of applications for computational fluid dynamics.
