On the Maxwell-Stefan diffusion limit for a mixture of monatomic gases

Analysis of PDEs 2016-05-09 v2

Abstract

Multi-species Boltzmann equations for gaseous mixtures, with analytic cross sections and under Grad's angular cutoff assumption, are considered under diffusive scaling. In the limit, we formally obtain an explicit expression for the binary diffusion coefficients in the Maxwell-Stefan equations.
