In this paper, we finally prove the well-posedness of the linearized R13 moment model, which describes, e.g., rarefied gas flows. As an extension of the classical fluid equations, moment models are robust and have been frequently used, yet…

This paper extends an earlier quantum kinetics treatment for dilute, weakly-interacting, partially Bose-Einstein condensed gases, presented by the author elsewhere [J. Res. Natl. Inst. Stand. Technol. 101, 457 (1996)], by consistently…

In the present work the classical problem of the kinetic theory of gases (the Smoluchowsky' problem about temperature jump in rarefied gas) is considered. The rarefied gas fills half-space over a flat firm surface. logarithmic gradient of…

This paper is a continuation of our earlier work [Z.L. Guo {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 88}, 033305 (2013)] where a multiscale numerical scheme based on kinetic model was developed for low speed isothermal flows with arbitrary Knudsen…

Parameter estimation for the truncated skew-normal distribution is challenging, as truncation introduces additional nonlinearity into the likelihood function and often leads to numerical instability in existing estimation procedures. In…

Rooted from the gas kinetics, the lattice Boltzmann method is a powerful tool in modeling hydrodynamics. In the past decade, it has been extended to simulate the rarefied gas flow beyond the Navier-Stokes level, either by using the…

We present a more refined version of rational extended thermodynamics of rarefied polyatomic gases in which molecular rotational and vibrational relaxation processes are treated individually. In this case we need a triple hierarchy of the…

The Maxwell-Boltzmann (MB) distribution for velocities in ideal gases is usually defined between zero and infinity. A double truncated MB distribution is here introduced and the probability density function, the distribution function, the…

We derive a consistent set of moments equations for CR-magnetohydrodynamics, assuming a gyrotropic distribution function (DF). Unlike previous efforts we derive a closure, akin to the M1 closure in radiation hydrodynamics (RHD), that is…
