There is, however, a major drawback to the BGK model: The hydrodynamic limit at the Navier-Stokes level is not correct. One evidence is that the Prandtl number computed using the BGK model does not agree with what is derived from the Boltzmann equation. To overcome this problem, Holway \\cite{Holway} introduced the ellipsoidal BGK model where the local Maxwellian is replaced by a non-isotropic Gaussian.
