Asymptotic solutions of the nonlinear Boltzmann equation for dissipative systems

چکیده
Analytic solutions F (v, t) of the nonlinear Boltzmann equation in ddimensions are studied for a new class of dissipative models, called inelastic repulsive scatterers, interacting through pseudo-power law repulsions, characterized by a strength parameter ν, and embedding inelastic hard spheres (ν = 1) and inelastic Maxwell models (ν = 0). The systems are either freely cooling without energy input or driven by thermostats, e.g. white noise, and approach stable nonequilibrium steady states, or marginally stable homogeneous cooling states, where the data, v 0 (t)F (v, t) plotted versus c = v/v0(t), collapse on a scaling or similarity solution f(c), where v0(t) is the r.m.s. velocity. The dissipative interactions generate overpopulated high energy tails, described generically by stretched Gaussians, f(c) ∼ exp[−βc] with 0 < b < 2, where b = ν with ν > 0 in free cooling , and b = 1+ 1 2 ν with ν ≥ 0 when driven by white noise. Power law tails, f(c) ∼ 1/c, are only found in marginal cases, where the exponent a is the root of a transcendental equation. The stability threshold depend on the type of thermostat, and is for the case of free cooling located at ν = 0. Moreover we analyze an inelastic BGK-type kinetic equation with an energy dependent collision frequency coupled to a thermostat, that captures all qualitative properties of the velocity distribution function in Maxwell models, as predicted by the full nonlinear Boltzmann equation, but fails for harder interactions with ν > 0.

A nonlinear second order field equation – similarity solutions and relation to a Bellmann-type equation - Applications to Maxwellian Molecules
In this paper Lie’s formalism is applied to deduce classes of solutions of a nonlinear partial differential equation (nPDE) of second order with quadratic nonlinearity. The equation has the meaning of a field equation appearing in the formulation of kinetic models. Similarity solutions and transformations are given in a most general form derived to the first time in terms of reciprocal Jacobian...
متن کاملHilbert’s 6th Problem: Exact and Approximate Hydrodynamic Manifolds for Kinetic Equations
The problem of the derivation of hydrodynamics from the Boltzmann equation and related dissipative systems is formulated as the problem of a slow invariant manifold in the space of distributions. We review a few instances where such hydrodynamic manifolds were found analytically both as the result of summation of the Chapman–Enskog asymptotic expansion and by the direct solution of the invarian...
متن کاملA Dissipative Integral Sliding Mode Control Redesign Method
This paper develops a new method of integral sliding mode control redesign for a class of perturbed nonlinear dissipative switched systems by modifying the dissipativity-based control law that was designed for the unperturbed systems. The nominal model is considered affine with matched and unmatched perturbations. The redesigned control law includes an integral sliding-based control signal such...

We consider the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for regularized soft potentials and Grad’s angular cutoff. We prove that uniform (in time) bounds in L((1 + |v|)dv) and H norms, s, k ≥ 0 hold for its solution. The proof is based on the mixture of estimates of polynomial growth in time of those norms together with the quantitative results of relaxation to equilibrium in L obtained by the...
