We prove a result that can be applied to determine the finitedimensional simple Poisson modules over a Poisson algebra and apply it to numerous examples. In the discussion of the examples, the emphasis is on the correspondence with the finite-dimensional simple modules over deformations and on the behaviour of finite-dimensional simple Poisson modules on the passage from a Poisson algebra to th...

Abstract. In this article, we propose a model describing the transport of trapped particles in a surface potential. The potential confines particles close to the surface increasing the number of surface collisions. First, we consider the case of non charged particles. From a kinetic description, we rigorously derive a two dimensional Boltzmann equation. In the case of charged particles we intro...

We prove that the motion of a test particle in a hard sphere fluid in thermal equilibrium converges, in the Boltzmann-Grad limit, to the stochastic process governed by the linear Boltzmann equation. The convergence is in the sense of weak convergence of the path measures. We use this result to study the steady state of a binary mixture of hard spheres of different colors (but equal masses and d...

a finite volume-lattice boltzmann algorithm is applied to study skin friction behaviour in different channel flows. for this purpose, cell centred scheme is adapted to discretize the boltzmann equation and consistent boundary conditions are also addressed, which resulted in a wider domain of stability. a simulation of flow in a two dimensional channels with different geometries are carried out....

In this paper we study the numerical passage from the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation without cut-off to the Fokker-Planck-Landau equation in the so-called grazing collision limit. To this aim we derive a Fourier spectral method for the non cut-off Boltzmann equation in the spirit of [21, 23]. We show that the kernel modes that define the spectral method have the correct grazing collis...

These three lectures introduce the reader to recent progress on the hydrodynamic limits of the kinetic theory of gases. Lecture 1 outlines the main mathematical results in this direction, and explains in particular how the Euler or NavierStokes equations for compressible as well as incompressible fluids, can be derived from the Boltzmann equation. It also presents the notion of renormalized sol...

A finite difference lattice Boltzmann method based on the Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook-type modeled Boltzmann equation is proposed. Themethod relies on a different lattice equilibriumparticle distribution function and the use of a splitting method to solve the modeled lattice Boltzmann equation. The splitting technique permits the boundary conditions for the lattice Boltzmann equation to be set as con...

Boltzmann Transport Equation [1-2] has been modelled in close conjunction with Maxwell’s equation, investigations for 2D and 3D transport carriers have been proposed. Exact solution of Boltzmann Equation still remains the core field of research. We have worked towards evaluation of 2D and 3D solutions of BTE. Application of our work can be extended to study the electromagnetic wave transport in...

In this thesis we investigate the ability of the Runge-Kutta Discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) method to provide accurate and efficient solutions of the Boltzmann equation. Solutions of the Boltzmann equation are desirable in connection to small scale science and technology because when characteristic flow length scales become of the order of, or smaller than, the molecular mean free path, the Navi...

The paper presents some approximation methods for the Boltz-mann equation. In the rst part fully implicit discretization techniques for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation are investigated. The implicit equation is solved using an iteration process. It is shown that the iteration converges to the correct solution for the moments of the distribution function as long as the mass conserva...
