Solutions to the Boltzmann Equation in the Boussinesq Regime

چکیده
We consider a gas in a horizontal slab in which the top and bottom walls are kept at different temperatures. The system is described by the Boltzmann equation (BE) with Maxwellian boundary conditions specifying the wall temperatures. We study the behavior of the system when the Knudsen number e. is small and the temperature difference between the walls as well as the velocity field is of order E, while the gravitational force is of order e. We prove that there exists a solution to the BE for t E(0, t) which is near a global Maxwellian, and whose moments are close, up to order e, to the density, velocity and temperature obtained from the smooth solution of the Oberbeck-Boussinesq equations assumed to exist for t< t.

Extensions to Study Electrochemical Interfaces - A Contribution to the Theory of Ions
In the present study an alternative model allows the extension of the Debye-Hückel Theory (DHT) considering time dependence explicitly. From the Electro-Quasistatic approach (EQS) done in earlier studies time dependent potentials are suitable to describe several phenomena especially conducting media as well as the behaviour of charged particles in arbitrary solutions acting as electrolytes.

متن کاملGlobal Existence Results for the Anisotropic Boussinesq System in Dimension Two
We study the global existence issue for the two-dimensional Boussinesq system with horizontal viscosity in only one equation. We first examine the case where the Navier-Stokes equation with no vertical viscosity is coupled with a transport equation. Second, we consider a coupling between the classical two-dimensional incompressible Euler equation and a transportdiffusion equation with diffusion...
متن کاملRegularity Criteria for the 2d Boussinesq Equations with Supercritical Dissipation∗
This paper focuses on the 2D incompressible Boussinesq equations with fractional dissipation, given by Λαu in the velocity equation and by Λβθ in the temperature equation, where Λ= √−Δ denotes the Zygmund operator. Due to the vortex stretching and the lack of sufficient dissipation, the global regularity problem for the supercritical regime α+β<1 remains an outstanding problem. This paper prese...

متن کاملOn the Decoupling of the Improved Boussinesq Equation into Two Uncoupled Camassa-holm Equations
We rigorously establish that, in the long-wave regime characterized by the assumptions of long wavelength and small amplitude, bidirectional solutions of the improved Boussinesq equation tend to associated solutions of two uncoupled Camassa-Holm equations. We give a precise estimate for approximation errors in terms of two small positive parameters measuring the effects of nonlinearity and disp...
