We study steady Boltzmann equation in half-space, which arises in the Knudsen boundary layer problem, with diffusive reflection boundary conditions. Under certain admissible conditions and the source term decaying exponentially, we…
Hypocoercivity methods are applied to linear kinetic equations without any space confinement, when local equilibria have a sub-exponential decay. By Nash type estimates, global rates of decay are obtained, which reflect the behavior of the…
In the present paper, we concern the hydrodynamic limit of Boltzmann equation with specular reflection boundary condition in a two-dimensional disk to the compressible Euler equations. Due to the non-zero curvature and non-zero tangential…
