  We present a novel approach to kinetic theory modeling enabling the
simulation of a generic, real gas presented by its corresponding equation of
state. The model is based on mass, momentum and energy conservation, and unlike
the lattice Boltzmann models enables simulations of fluids exhibiting a
liquid-vapor phase transition in both super- and subcritical states. In this
new kinetic theory,an arbitrary equation of state can be introduced through
rescaling the discrete particle velocities.Different benchmarks associated with
real-gas thermodynamics illustrate that the proposed scheme can handle a wide
range of compressible multiphase flows.
