Acknowledgments
The writer wishes to thank the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong for financial support under grant number HKUST6227/04E. I thank my former students Dr. J. Q. Deng, Ms. S. Zhang, and Mr. J. H. Liang, who developed the BGK models that were used to compute the examples shown here. I’m fortunate to have friends and colleagues such as Professsor Bryan W. Karney and Professor Elsie Tso, whom I can call upon for help. Both Bryan and Elsie corrected the manuscript and provided highly useful comments and suggestions.
