It is understood that congestion in traffic can be interpreted in terms of the instability of the equation of dynamic motion. The evolution of a traffic system from an unstable or metastable state to a globally stable state bears a strong…
We derive causal relativistic fluid dynamical equations from the relaxation model of kinetic theory as in a procedure previously applied in the case of non-relativistic rarefied gases. By treating space and time on an equal footing and…
In this paper we develop a boundary state feedback control law for a traffic flow network system in its most fundamental form: one incoming and one outgoing road connected by a junction. The macroscopic traffic dynamics on each road segment…
We derive a hydrodynamic model for the motion of inertial particles with a spherical hard core, interacting through lubrication forces and pairwise repulsive forces. The repulsion arises from the assumption that each particle is surrounded…
The Aw-Rascle-Zhang (ARZ) model can be interpreted as a generalization of the first order Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) model, possessing a family of fundamental diagram curves, rather than a single one. We investigate to which extent…
In this article an anisotropic interaction model avoiding collisions is proposed. Starting point is a general isotropic interacting particle system, as used for swarming or follower-leader dynamics. An anisotropy is induced by rotation of…
A simplified version of a classical problem in thermodynamics -- the adiabatic piston -- is discussed in the framework of kinetic theory. We consider the limit of gases whose relaxation time is extremely fast so that the gases contained on…
We derive the hydrodynamic equations of perfect fluids without boost invariance [1] from kinetic theory. Our approach is to follow the standard derivation of the Vlasov hierarchy based on an a-priori unknown collision functional satisfying…
In this paper we consider a kinetic description of follow-the-leader traffic models, which we use to study the effect of vehicle-wise driver-assist control strategies at various scales, from that of the local traffic up to that of the…
A new kinetic model for multiphase flow was presented under the framework of the discrete Boltzmann method (DBM). Significantly different from the previous DBM, a bottom-up approach was adopted in this model. The effects of molecular size…
In this paper, we present a new approach that generalizes the existing second-order hydrodynamic traffic models. In the proposed approach, we use the expression for the relative velocity of disturbances propagation in traffic flow. We show…
We consider a kinetic model, which describes the sedimentation of rod-like particles in dilute suspensions under the influence of gravity. This model has recently been derived by Helzel and Tzavaras in \cite{HT2015}. Here we restrict our…
In this paper, we study all transport coefficients of second-order dissipative fluid dynamics derived by V. E. Ambrus et al. [Phys. Rev. D 106, 076005 (2022)] from the relativistic Boltzmann equation in the relaxation-time approximation for…
Turbulent fluid flows exhibit a complex small-scale structure with frequently occurring extreme velocity gradients. Particles probing such swirling and straining regions respond with an intricate shape-dependent orientational dynamics,…
Vehicles in developing countries have widely varying dimensions and speeds, and drivers tend to not follow lane discipline. In this flow state called "mixed traffic", the interactions between drivers and the resulting maneuvers resemble…

This work derives the Navier--Stokes hydrodynamic equations for a model of a confined, quasi-two-dimensional, $s$-component mixture of inelastic, smooth, hard spheres. Using the inelastic version of the revised Enskog theory, macroscopic…
