Boltzmann Equations for Mixtures of Maxwell Gases: Exact Solutions and Power like Tails
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the Boltzmann equations for mixtures of Maxwell gases. It is shown that in certain limiting case the equations admit self-similar solutions that can be constructed in explicit form. More precisely, the solutions have simple explicit integral representations. The most interesting solutions have finite energy and power like tails. This shows that power like tails can appear not just for granular particles (Maxwell models are far from reality in this case), but also in the system of particles interacting in accordance with laws of classical mechanics. In addition, non-existence of positive self-similar solutions with finite moments of any order is proven for a wide class of Maxwell models. To Carlo Cercignani, on his 65th Birthday

Generalized kinetic Maxwell type models of granular gases
In this chapter we consider generalizations of kinetic granular gas models given by Boltzmann equations of Maxwell type. These type of models for nonlinear elastic or inelastic interactions, have many applications in physics, dynamics of granular gases, economy, etc. We present the problem and develop its form in the space of characteristic functions, i.e. Fourier transforms of probability meas...
متن کاملOver-populated Tails for conservative-in-the-mean Inelastic Maxwell Models
We introduce and discuss spatially homogeneous Maxwell-type models of the nonlinear Boltzmann equation undergoing binary collisions with a random component. The random contribution to collisions is such that the usual collisional invariants of mass, momentum and energy do not hold pointwise, even if they all hold in the mean. Under this assumption it is shown that, while the Boltzmann equation ...
متن کاملThe Maxwell-Stefan diffusion limit for a kinetic model of mixtures
We consider the non-reactive elastic Boltzmann equation for multicomponent gaseous mixtures. We deduce, under the standard diffusive scaling, that well prepared initial conditions lead to solutions satisfying the Maxwell-Stefan diffusion equations in the vanishing Mach and Knudsen numbers limit.
متن کاملDriven inelastic Maxwell models with high energy tails.
The solutions of the homogeneous nonlinear Boltzmann equation for inelastic Maxwell models, when driven by different types of thermostats, show, in general, overpopulated high energy tails of the form approximately exp(-ac), with power law tails and Gaussian tails as border line cases. The results are compared with those for inelastic hard spheres, and a comprehensive picture of the long time b...
متن کاملThermal Lattice Boltzmann Bgk Model for Ideal Binary Mixtures
A lattice Boltzmann model for binary mixtures is formally derived from a two-fluid kinetic model for Maxwell molecules by discretizing the Boltzmann equation. In this model, collisions among the same and different species are treated separately, as non-linear BGK terms, enabling the independent management of the species viscosities and thermal conductivities from the binary diffusion coefficien...
