Boundary Layer of Boltzmann Equation in 2D Convex Domains

Consider the stationary Boltzmann equation in 2D convex domains with diffusive boundary condition. In this paper, we establish the hydrodynamic limits while the boundary layers are present, and derive the steady Navier-Stokes-Fourier system with non-slip boundary conditions. Our contribution focuses on novel weighted $W^{1,\infty}$ estimates for the Milne problem with geometric correction. Also, we develop stronger remainder estimates based on an $L^{2m}-L^{\infty}$ framework.
