Fast numerical method for the Boltzmann equation on non-uniform grids
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a new fast numerical method for computing discontinuous solutions to the Boltzmann equation and illustrate it by numerical examples. A combination of adaptive grids for approximation of the distribution function and an approximate fast Fourier transform on non-uniform grids for computing smooth terms in the Boltzmann collision integral is used. 2008 Elsevier Inc.

External 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 کاملThe Finite Element Approximation of the Nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann Equation
A widely used electrostatics model in the biomolecular modeling community, the nonlinear Poisson–Boltzmann equation, along with its finite element approximation, are analyzed in this paper. A regularized Poisson–Boltzmann equation is introduced as an auxiliary problem, making it possible to study the original nonlinear equation with delta distribution sources. A priori error estimates for the f...
متن کاملSpectral methods for the non cut-off Boltzmann equation and numerical grazing collision limit
In this paper we study the numerical passage from the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation without cut-off to the Fokker-Planck-Landau equation in the so-called grazing collision limit. To this aim we derive a Fourier spectral method for the non cut-off Boltzmann equation in the spirit of [21, 23]. We show that the kernel modes that define the spectral method have the correct grazing collis...

This paper deals with the hydrodynamic and thermal analysis of a new type of porous heat exchanger (PHE). This system operates based on energy conversion between gas enthalpy and thermal radiation. The proposed PHE has one high temperature (HT) and two heat recovery (HR1 and HR2) sections. In HT section, the enthalpy of flowing high temperature gas flow that is converted to thermal radiation em...
متن کاملImplicit Asymptotic Preserving Schemes for Semiconductor Boltzmann Equation in the Diffusive Regime
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...
