In gas dynamics, the connection between the continuum physics model offered by the Navier-Stokes equations and the heat equation and the molecular model offered by the kinetic theory of gases has been understood for some time, especially…
A deterministic method is proposed for solving the Boltzmann equation. The method employs a Galerkin discretization of the velocity space and adopts, as trial and test functions, the collocation basis functions based on weights and roots of…
Extending work of Carty, we show that $H^1$ solutions of a simplified 1D BGK model decay exponentially in $L^2$ to a subclass of the class of grossly determined solutions as defined by Truesdell and Muncaster. In the process, we determine…
A simplified relativistic kinetic theory for gases with internal degrees of freedom, based on a BGK-type collision term, is considered. First the Boltzmann equation is rewritten in tetrad form and then thermal coefficients are determined to…
In this paper the global existence of weak solutions to the relativistic BGK model for the relativistic Boltzmann equation is analyzed. The proof relies on the strong compactness of the density, velocity and temperature under minimal…
This work explores the capability of simulating complex fluid flows by directly solving the Boltzmann equation. Due to the high-dimensionality of the governing equation, the substantial computational cost of solving the Boltzmann equation…
We consider generalizations of kinetic granular gas models given by Boltzmann equations of Maxwell type. These type of models for non-linear elastic or inelastic interactions, have many applications in physics, dynamics of granular gases,…
An implicit high-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method is developed to find steady-state solution of rarefied gas flow described by the Boltzmann equation with full collision operator. In the physical space, velocity distribution…
A kinetic model for the Boltzmann equation is proposed and explored as a practical means to investigate the properties of a dilute granular gas. It is shown that all spatially homogeneous initial distributions approach a universal…
The goal of this work is to present an approach to the homogeneous Boltzmann equation for Maxwellian molecules with a physical collision kernel which allows us to construct unique solutions to the initial value problem in a space of…
Spectral methods, thanks to their high accuracy and the possibility to use fast algorithms, represent an effective way to approximate the collisional kinetic equations of Boltzmann type, such as the Boltzmann-Nordheim equation. This…
We consider a one-dimensional system consisting of a granular tracer particle of mass $M$ in a bath of thermalized particles each of mass $m$. When the mass ratio, $M/m$, is equal to the coefficient of restitution, $\alpha$, the system maps…
When the flow is sufficiently rarefied, a temperature gradient, for example, between two walls separated by a few mean free paths, induces a gas flow---an observation attributed to the thermo-stress convection effects at microscale. The…
In this paper we deal with the extension of the Fast Kinetic Scheme (FKS) [J. Comput. Phys., Vol. 255, 2013, pp 680-698] originally constructed for solving the BGK equation, to the more challenging case of the Boltzmann equation. The scheme…
Existence of global regular solution branches of the Boltzmann Cauchy problem with continuously differentiable data in phase space dimension $2d\geq 6$ with polynomial decay at infinity of order greater than $2d$ is proved. There are data…
In this paper, convergence results on the solutions of a time and space discrete model approximation of the Boltzmann equation for a gas of Maxwellian particles in a bounded domain, obtained by Babovsky and Illner [1989], are extended to…
In this manuscript, we put forth a general scheme for defining initial value problems from Einstein's equations of General Relativity constrained by homogeneous and isotropic expansion. The cosmological models arising as solutions are…
We solve the Cauchy problem for the full non-linear homogeneous Boltzmann system of equations describing multi-component monatomic gas mixtures for binary interactions in three dimensions. More precisely, we show existence and uniqueness of…
A novel hybrid algorithm is presented for the Boltzmann-BGK equation, in which a low-rank decomposition is applied solely in the velocity subspace, while a full-rank representation is maintained in the physical (position) space. This…
We study a two phase flow with interactions of liquid and rarefied gas inside the gas phase. The gas phase is modeled by the BGK model of the Boltzmann equation. The liquid phase is modeled by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. In…
