چکیده

In recent years, the maximum entropy principle has been applied to a wide range of different fields, often successfully. While these works are usually focussed on cross-disciplinary applications, the point of this letter is instead to reconsider a fundamental point of kinetic theory. Namely, we shall re-examine the Stosszahlansatz leading to the irreversible Boltzmann equation at the light of the MaxEnt principle. We assert that this way of thinking allows to move one step further than the factorization hypothesis and provides a coherent—though implicit—closure scheme for the two-particle distribution function. Such higher-order dependences are believed to open the way to a deeper understanding of fluctuating phenomena.

Positivity-preserving nonstandard finite difference Schemes for simulation of advection-diffusion reaction equations

Systems in which reaction terms are coupled to diffusion and advection transports arise in a wide range of chemical engineering applications, physics, biology and environmental. In these cases, the components of the unknown can denote concentrations or population sizes which represent quantities and they need to remain positive. Classical finite difference schemes may produce numerical drawback...

Articulatory Synthesis: Numerical Solution of a Hyperbolic Differential Equation

The computation of acoltstic pressure fluctuations in a variable area tube is often done using the K elly-Lochbaum reflection model. The numerical scheme derived from this model can be put into the context of finite-difference approximations to a differential equation describing acoustic wave propagation (a hyperbolic differential equation). Quantitative criteria for goodness of finite-differen...

Truncation error and oscillation property of the combined compact difference scheme

We derive truncation error representation for the sixth order combined compact diierence (CCD) scheme for discretizing a one dimensional partial diierential equation. We also show that, for a model one dimensional convection diiusion equation, the CCD scheme produces numerical oscillatory solution, when the cell Reynolds number condition is violated. Numerical experiments are used to demonstrat...

A finite difference alternating segment scheme of parallel computations for solving heat equation

In this paper, a numerical scheme named alternating segment Crank-Nikolson is used for solving heat equation. This scheme can be used directly on parallel computations. Truncation error and stability of the presented method is analyzed. Comparison in accuracy with the fully implicit Crank-Nikolson scheme is presented in numerical experiment.

Linearized numerical schemes for the Boussinesq equation

Two different linearized schemes are applied to a parametric finite-difference scheme concerning the numerical solution of the Boussinesq equation. At the first linearized scheme the nonlinear term of the equation is substituted by an appropriate value, while at the second scheme we use Taylor’s expansion. Both schemes are analyzed for local truncation error, stability and convergence. The resu...
