چکیده
This work discusses the application of the moment method to a generic form of kinetic equations, given by the Boltzmann equation, to simplify kinetic models of particle systems. Implicit to the method of moments is an approximation of moment closure relations to close the system of equations. The main aim is to explore the opportunities, pertaining to goal-oriented adaptive modeling, presented by the hierarchical structure of moment-closure systems.

This work applies the moment method onto a generic form of kinetic equations, given by the Boltzmann equation, to simplify kinetic models of particle systems. This leads to the moment closure problem which is addressed using entropy-based moment closure techniques utilizing entropy minimization. The resulting moment closure system forms a system of partial differential equations that retain str...
متن کاملEquivalence of Boltzmann and moment equations
The closure problem for the stellar hydrodynamic equations is studied by describing the family of phase space density functions, for which the collisionless Boltzmann equation is strictly equivalent to a finite subset of moment equations. It is proven that the redundancy of the higher-order moment equations and the recurrence of the velocity moments are of similar nature. The method is based on...

متن کاملClosure of the stellar hydrodynamic equations for Gaussian and ellipsoidal velocity distributions
The closure conditions, which make a finite set of moment equations equivalent to the collisionless Boltzmann equation, are investigated for Gaussian and ellipsoidal velocity distributions working from the complete mathematical expression for the n-order stellar hydrodynamic equation, which was explicitly obtained depending on the comoving moments in a previous paper. First, for a Schwarzschild...
