A Framework on Moment Model Reduction for Kinetic Equation
Abstract
By a further investigation on the structure of the coefficient matrix of the globally hyperbolic regularized moment equations for Boltzmann equation in [Z. Cai, Y. Fan and R. Li, Comm. Math. Sci., 11 (2013), pp. 547-571], we propose a uniform framework to carry out model reduction to general kinetic equations, to achieve certain moment system. With this framework, the underlying reason why the globally hyperbolic regularization in [Z. Cai, Y. Fan and R. Li, Comm. Math. Sci., 11 (2013), pp. 547-571] works is revealed. The even fascinating point is, with only routine calculation, existing models are represented and brand new models are discovered. Even if the study is restricted in the scope of the classical Grad's 13-moment system, new model with global hyperbolicity can be deduced.
