Fourier transform of the Boltzmann collision integral for a bimodal distribution function
نویسنده
چکیده
The Fourier transform of the Boltzmann collision integral for a gas of Maxwell molecules is calculated explicitly for the bimodal distribution proposed by Mott-Smith for the shock wave structure. The results of Bobylev's approach of Fourier transforming of the Boltzmann equation were used as the starting point.

Fast numerical method for the Boltzmann equation on non-uniform grids
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.

متن کاملEstimates for the Boltzmann Collision Operator via Radial Symmetry and Fourier Transform
We revisit and extend the L theory of the Boltzmann collision operator by using classical techniques based in the Carleman representation and Fourier analysis. We introduce new ideas based in radial symmetry to greatly simplify existent technical proofs and obtain explicit sharp constants. An additional contribution of this work is the discovery of an unexpected relation between the general Bol...
متن کاملConservative Deterministic Spectral Boltzmann Solver near the grazing collisions limit
We present new results building on the conservative deterministic spectral method for the space homogeneous Boltzmann equation developed by Gamba and Tharkabhushaman. This approach is a two-step process that acts on the weak form of the Boltzmann equation, and uses the machinery of the Fourier transform to reformulate the collisional integral into a weighted convolution in Fourier space. A cons...
متن کاملDevelopment of a 3D Spectral Boltzmann Solver for Plasma Modeling
A numerical framework for studying plasma flows in electric propulsion systems is developed. The novelty of this kinetic-theory-based method is the spectral treatment of the Boltzmann collision operator using Fourier-Galerkin scheme coupled with the computational efficiency of the streaming of the lattice Boltzmann method. This spectral treatment (i) avoids the low Mach number restriction of th...
