Pointwise Convergence of Boltzmann Solutions for Grazing Collisions in a Maxwell Gas via a Probabilitistic Interpretation
نویسنده
چکیده
Using probabilistic tools, this work states a pointwise convergence of function solutions of the 2-dimensional Boltzmann equation to the function solution of the Landau equation for Maxwellian molecules when the collisions become grazing. To this aim, we use the results of Fournier (2000) on the Malliavin calculus for the Boltzmann equation. Moreover, using the particle system introduced by Guérin and Méléard (2003), some simulations of the solution of the Landau equation will be given. This result is original and has not been obtained for the moment by analytical methods. Mathematics Subject Classification. 60J75, 60H10, 60H07, 82C40. Received June 4, 2002. Revised November 27, 2002.

Over-populated Tails for conservative-in-the-mean Inelastic Maxwell Models
We introduce and discuss spatially homogeneous Maxwell-type models of the nonlinear Boltzmann equation undergoing binary collisions with a random component. The random contribution to collisions is such that the usual collisional invariants of mass, momentum and energy do not hold pointwise, even if they all hold in the mean. Under this assumption it is shown that, while the Boltzmann equation ...
متن کاملUniqueness of Bounded Solutions for the Homogeneous Landau Equation with a Coulomb Potential
f0(v) log f0(v)dv for all t ≥ 0. Assume that in a dilute gas or plasma, particles collide by pairs, due to a repulsive force proportional to 1/r, where r stands for the distance between the two particles. Then if s ∈ (2,∞), the velocity distribution solves the corresponding Boltzmann equation [14, 15]. But if s = 2, the Boltzmann equation is meaningless [14] and is often replaced by the Landau ...

This work proves the global stability of the Boltzmann equation (1872) with the physical collision kernels derived by Maxwell in 1866 for the full range of inverse-power intermolecular potentials, r−(p−1) with p > 2, for initial perturbations of the Maxwellian equilibrium states, as announced in [48]. We more generally cover collision kernels with parameters s ∈ (0, 1) and γ satisfying γ > −n i...
متن کاملAsymptotic Dynamics for Generalized Non-linear Kinetic Maxwell-type Models
Maxwell-type models for non-linear kinetic equations have many applications in physics, dynamics of granular gases, economics, and other areas where statistical modeling is relevant. They model the evolution of probability measures (distribution functions) and relate to a class of non-linear space homogeneous Boltzmann equations for binary interactions where scattering probability rates of the ...
متن کاملSimulation of Micro-Channel and Micro-Orifice Flow Using Lattice Boltzmann Method with Langmuir Slip Model
Because of its kinetic nature and computational advantages, the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been well accepted as a useful tool to simulate micro-scale flows. The slip boundary model plays a crucial role in the accuracy of solutions for micro-channel flow simulations. The most used slip boundary condition is the Maxwell slip model. The results of Maxwell slip model are affected by the ac...
