Kinetic models for polyatomic gases have two temperatures for the two different types of degrees of freedom, the translational and the internal energy degrees of freedom. Therefore, in the case of BGK models one expects two types of…

Kinetic models of polyatomic gas typically account for the internal degrees of freedom at the level of the two-particle distribution function. However, close to the hydrodynamic limit, the internal (rotational) degrees of freedom tend to be…
