Abstract

Starting from the local-in-time classical solution to the compressible Euler system with impermeable boundary condition in half-space, by employing the coupled weak viscous layers (governed by linearized compressible Prandtl equations with Robin boundary condition) and linear kinetic boundary layers, and the analytical tools in \cite{Guo-Jang-Jiang-2010-CPAM} and some new boundary estimates both for Prandtl and Knudsen layers, we proved the local-in-time existence of Hilbert expansion type classical solutions to the scaled Boltzmann equation with Maxwell reflection boundary condition with accommodation coefficient αε=O(ε)\alpha_\varepsilon=O(\sqrt{\varepsilon}) when the Knudsen number ε\varepsilon small enough. As a consequence, this justifies the corresponding case of formal analysis in Sone's books \cite{Sone-2002book, Sone-2007-Book}. This also extends the results in \cite{GHW-2020} from specular to Maxwell reflection boundary condition. Both of this paper and \cite{GHW-2020} can be viewed as generalizations of Caflisch's classic work \cite{Caflish-1980-CPAM} to the cases with boundary.
