Usually, the relaxation times of a gas are estimated in the frame of the Boltzmann equation. In this paper, instead, we deal with the relaxation problem in the frame of the dynamical theory of Hamiltonian systems, in which the definition…

In the Hermite-expansion-based multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann (LB) model [Shan & Chen, Int. J. Mod. Phys. C, 18, 635, (2007)], a separate relaxation time is assigned to each of the tensorial moments of the collision term. Here…
Many experimentally relevant systems are quasi-one-dimensional, consisting of nearly decoupled chains. In these systems, there is a natural separation of scales between the strong intra-chain interactions and the weak interchain coupling.…
