The Hilbert-Chapman-Enskog expansion of the kinetic equations in mean flight times is believed to be asymptotic rather than convergent. It is therefore inadvisable to use lower order results to simplify the current approximation as is done…
We present a tensor-decomposition method to solve the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) in the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook approximation. The method represents the six-dimensional BTE as a set of six one-dimensional problems, which are solved…
We apply the projection operator formalism to the problem of determining the asymptotic behavior of the lattice BGK equation in the hydrodynamic limit. As an alternative to the more usual Chapman-Enskog expansion, this approach offers many…

We propose a multiple relaxation time Boltzmann equation collision model by systematically assigning a separate relaxation time to each of the central moments of the distribution function. The Chapman-Enskog calculation leads to correct…

I calculate the hydrodynamic limit of the BGK approximation of the Boltzmann equation for the case of a long stress relaxation time and find that the stress obeys a viscoelastic constitutive equation. The constitutive equation is different…
We consider kinetic models for a multi component gas mixture without chemical reactions. In the literature, one can find two types of BGK models in order to describe gas mixtures. One type has a sum of BGK type interaction terms in the…
