An asymptotic preserving scheme for the Kac model of the Boltzmann equation in the diffusion limit

چکیده
In this paper we propose a numerical scheme to solve the Kac model of the Boltzmann equation for multiscale rarefied gas dynamics. This scheme is uniformly stable with respect to the Knudsen number, consistent with the fluid-diffusion limit for small Knudsen numbers, and with the Kac equation in the kinetic regime. Our approach is based on the micro-macro decomposition which leads to an equivalent formulation of the Kac model that couples a kinetic equation with macroscopic ones. This method is validated with various test cases and compared to other standard methods.

A BGK-penalization asymptotic-preserving scheme for the multispecies Boltzmann equation
An asymptotic preserving scheme is efficient in solving multiscale problems where both kinetic and hydrodynamic regimes co-exist. In this paper we extend the BGK-penalization based asymptotic preserving scheme, originally introduced by Filbet and Jin for the single species Boltzmann equation, to its multispecies counterpart. For the multispecies Boltzmann equation the new difficulties emerge du...

Various numerical boundary condition methods have been proposed to simulate various aspects of the no-slip wall condition using the Lattice Boltzmann Method. In this paper, a new boundary condition scheme is developed to model the no-slip wall condition in the presence of the body force term near the wall which is based on the Bennett extension. The error related to the new model is smaller tha...

We design several implicit asymptotic-preserving schemes for the linear semiconductor Boltzmann equation with a diffusive scaling, which lead asymptotically to the implicit discretizations of the drift-diffusion equation. The constructions are based on a stiff relaxation step and a stiff convection step obtained by splitting the system equal to the model equation. The one space dimensional sche...

An asymptotic-preserving (AP) scheme is efficient in solving multiscale problems where kinetic and hydrodynamic regimes coexist. In this article, we extend the BGK-penalization-based AP scheme, originally introduced by Filbet and Jin for the single species Boltzmann equation (Filbet and Jin, J Comput Phys 229 (2010) 7625–7648), to its multispecies counterpart.

متن کاملAn asymptotic-preserving scheme for the semiconductor Boltzmann equation toward the energy-transport limit
We design an asymptotic-preserving scheme for the semiconductor Boltzmann equation which leads to an energy-transport system for electron mass and internal energy as mean free path goes to zero. To overcome the stiffness induced by the convection terms, we adopt an even-odd decomposition to formulate the equation into a diffusive relaxation system. New difficulty arises in the two-scale stiff c...
