In this article, we are interested in the asymptotic analysis of a finite volume scheme for one dimensional linear kinetic equations, with either Fokker-Planck or linearized BGK collision operator. Thanks to appropriate uniform estimates,…

We develop a spectral method for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation using Burnett polynomials in the basis functions. Using the sparsity of the coefficients in the expansion of the collision term, the computational cost is reduced…

We propose and study a fully discrete finite volume scheme for the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation written as an hyperbolic system using Hermite polynomials in velocity. This approach naturally preserves the stationary solution and the…

We consider a kinetic model for a two component gas mixture without chemical reactions. Our goal is to study hypocoercivity for the linearized BGK model for gas mixtures in continuous phase space. By constructing an entropy functional, we…

We develop a new method for proving hypocoercivity for a large class of linear kinetic equations with only one conservation law. Local mass conservation is assumed at the level of the collision kernel, while transport involves a confining…

In this paper, we present a new class of conservative semi-Lagrangian schemes for kinetic equations. They are based on the conservative reconstruction technique introduced in [S. Y. Cho, et al., Conservative semi-Lagrangian schemes for…

This paper presents an asymptotic preserving (AP) implicit-explicit (IMEX) scheme for solving the quantum BGK equation using the Hermite spectral method. The distribution function is expanded in a series of Hermite polynomials, with the…

It has been unknown in kinetic theory whether the linearized Boltzmann or Landau equation with soft potentials admits a spectral gap in the spatially inhomogeneous setting. Most of existing works indicate a negative answer because the…

We study hypocoercivity for a class of linear and linearized BGK models for discrete and continuous phase spaces. We develop methods for constructing entropy functionals that prove exponential rates of relaxation to equilibrium. Our…

We derive a multi-species BGK model with velocity-dependent collision frequency for a non-reactive, multi-component gas mixture. The model is derived by minimizing a weighted entropy under the constraint that the number of particles of each…

In this work, we propose a class of high order semi-Lagrangian scheme for a general consistent BGK model for inert gas mixtures. The proposed scheme not only fulfills indifferentiability principle, but also asymptotic preserving property,…

In this paper, we propose a general framework to design asymptotic preserving schemes for the Boltzmann kinetic kinetic and related equations. Numerically solving these equations are challenging due to the nonlinear stiff collision (source)…

Ideal gases can be modeled by the Boltzmann equation from statistical physics. Instead of trying to track the position and velocity of a large number of gas molecules, it is possible to describe the particles with a particle distribution…

We introduce a numerical scheme for the full multi-species Boltzmann equation based on Hermite spectral method. With the proper choice of expansion centers for different species, a practical algorithm is derived to evaluate the complicated…

In this paper we present a new ultra efficient numerical method for solving kinetic equations. In this preliminary work, we present the scheme in the case of the BGK relaxation operator. The scheme, being based on a splitting technique…

A well-balanced scheme for a gravitational hydrodynamic system is defined as a scheme which could precisely preserve a hydrostatic isothermal solution. In this paper, we will construct a well-balanced gas-kinetic symplecticity-preserving…

This work addresses a central challenge in the numerical analysis of the cutoff spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation: the development of rigorously justified, accurate numerical schemes. We present (i) a novel Fourier spectral method…

We present new results building on the conservative deterministic spectral method for the space inhomogeneous Boltzmann equation developed by Gamba and Tharkabhushaman. This approach is a two-step process that acts on the weak form of the…

This paper presents a dissipativeness analysis of a quadrature method of moments (called HyQMOM) for the one-dimensional BGK equation. The method has exhibited its good performance in numerous applications. However, its mathematical…

We study the Bathnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) equation in a smooth bounded domain featuring a diffusive reflection boundary condition with general collision frequency. We prove that the BGK equation admits a unique global solution with an…
