Does the Chapman–Enskog expansion for viscous granular flows converge?

چکیده
This paper deals with the convergence/divergence issue of the Chapman–Enskog series expansion of the shear and normal stresses for a granular gas of inelastic hard spheres. From the exact solution of a simple kinetic model in the uniform shear and longitudinal flows, it is shown that (except in the elastic limit) both series converge and their respective radii of convergence increase with inelasticity. This paradoxical result can be understood in terms of the time evolution of the Knudsen number and the existence of a nonequilibrium steady state.

Longitudinal Viscous Flow in Granular Gases
The flow characterized by a linear longitudinal velocity field ux(x,t) = a(t)x, where a(t) = a0/(1+a0t), a uniform density n(t) ∝ a(t), and a uniform temperature T (t) is analyzed for dilute granular gases by means of a BGK-like model kinetic equation in d dimensions. For a given value of the coefficient of normal restitution α , the relevant control parameter of the problem is the reduced defo...
متن کاملChapman-Enskog expansion about nonequilibrium states with application to the sheared granular fluid.
The Chapman-Enskog method of solution of kinetic equations, such as the Boltzmann equation, is based on an expansion in gradients of the deviations of the hydrodynamic fields from a uniform reference state (e.g., local equilibrium). This paper presents an extension of the method so as to allow for expansions about arbitrary, far-from-equilibrium reference states. The primary result is a set of ...
متن کاملRegularized Chapman-enskog Expansion for Scalar Conservation Laws
Rosenau Phys. Rev. A, 40 (1989), pp. 7193-6] has recently proposed a regularized version of the Chapman-Enskog expansion of hydrodynamics. This regularized expansion resembles the usual Navier-Stokes viscosity terms at law wave-numbers, but unlike the latter, it has the advantage of being a bounded macroscopic approximation to the linearized collision operator. In this paper we study the behavi...
متن کاملExternal and Internal Incompressible Viscous Flows Computation using Taylor Series Expansion and Least Square based Lattice Boltzmann Method
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has recently become an alternative and promising computational fluid dynamics approach for simulating complex fluid flows. Despite its enormous success in many practical applications, the standard LBM is restricted to the lattice uniformity in the physical space. This is the main drawback of the standard LBM for flow problems with complex geometry. Several app...
متن کاملDerivation of viscous correction terms for the isothermal quantum Euler model
The aim of this paper is to compute viscous correction terms for the isothermal quantum Euler system of Degond, Gallego, Méhats (SIAM Multiscale Model Simul., 6, 2007). We derive this model by using a Chapman-Enskog expansion up to order 1. In a last part, we consider a situation where the flow is nearly irrotational in order to get a simplified model.
