Journal ArticleDOI
Fluid dynamic limits of kinetic equations. I. Formal derivations
TL;DR: In this article, the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations were derived from a formal derivation in which limiting moments are carefully balanced rather than on a classical expansion such as those of Hilbert or Chapman-Enskog.
Journal ArticleDOI
The discrete-ordinate method in diffusive regimes
Shi Jin,David Levermore +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the behavior of the discrete-ordinate method in highly scattering regimes, where the leading behavior of its solution is determined by the solution of a diffusion equation.
Sur les limites asymptotiques de la théorie cinétique conduisant à la dynamique des fluides incompressibles
TL;DR: In this paper, for a general class of kinetic equations, asymptotic limits leading to various equations of incompressible fluid mechanics: the Navier-Stokes equations, the linearized Navier Stokes equation, the Euler equations, and the linearised Euler equation.
Book ChapterDOI
Fluid Dynamic Limits of Discrete Velocity Kinetic Equations
TL;DR: In this article, the connection between discrete velocity kinetic theory and fluid dynamics is systematically described and conditions that formally lead to generalized compressible Euler equations or to generalized incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are given.
Book ChapterDOI
Macroscopic Limits of Kinetic Equations
Abstract: The connection between kinetic theory and the macroscopic equations of fluid dynamics is described In particular, our results concerning the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation are compared with the classical derivation of Hilbert and Chapman-Enskog Some indications of the validity of these limits are given More specifically, the connection between the DiPerna-Lions renormalized solution for the Boltzmann equation and the Leray-Hopf solution for the Navier-Stokes equation is considered
