Stochastic numerics for the Boltzmann equation
نویسنده
چکیده
discuss its properties and briefly describe the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method (see [1]) which is widely applied in numerics. Then, in the second part of the talk, we present the Stochastic Weighted Particle Method (SWPM) which was introduced in [2]. This numerical method was developed for problems with big deviation in magnitude of values of interest. We describe the corresponding algorithms, give a brief summary of the convergence theory and illustrate the new possibilities on hand of numerical tests.

On the Cauchy Problem of the Boltzmann and Landau Equations with Soft Potentials
Global classical solutions near Maxwellians are constructed for the Boltzmann and Landau equations with soft potentials in the whole space. The construction of global solutions is based on refined energy analysis. Our results generalize the classical results in Ukai and Asano (Publ. Res. Inst. Math. Sci. 18 (1982), 477–519) to the very soft potentials for the Boltzmann equation and also extend ...
متن کاملThe Lattice Boltzmann Equation Method: Theoretical Interpretation, Numerics and Implications
During the last ten years the Lattice Boltzmann Equation (LBE) method has been developed as an alternative numerical approach in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Originated from the discrete kinetic theory, the LBE method has emerged with the promise to become a superior modeling platform, both computationally and conceptually, compared to the existing arsenal of the continuum-based CFD meth...
متن کاملComment on "Numerics of the lattice Boltzmann method: effects of collision models on the lattice Boltzmann simulations".
Critical comments on the entropic lattice Boltzmann equation (ELBE), by Li-Shi Luo, Wei Liao, Xingwang Chen, Yan Peng, and Wei Zhang in Ref. , are based on simulations, which make use of a model that, despite being referred to as the ELBE by the authors, is in fact equivalent to the standard lattice Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook equation for low Mach number simulations. In this Comment, a concise revie...
متن کاملA Matrix Compression Scheme for Spherical Harmonics Expansions of the Boltzmann Transport Equation
We investigate the numerics behind the numerical solution of the Boltzmann transport equation using an expansion of the distribution function in spherical harmonics for the purpose of electronic device simulation. Traditional implementations of higher order spherical harmonics expansions suffer from huge memory requirements especially for two and three dimensional devices. To overcome these com...
متن کاملThe Quantum Statistical Mechanical Theory of Transport Processes
A new derivation of the quantum Boltzmann transport equation for the Fermion system from the quantum time evolution equation for the wigner distribution function is presented. The method exhibits the origin of the time - irreversibility of the Boltzmann equation. In the present work, the spin dependent and indistinguishibility of particles are also considered.
